Ronni Zehavi
CEO and Co-founder
Ronni Zehavi, along with his two cofounders, Udi Trugman and David Drai, formed Cotendo in 2008. From that moment forward, Zehavi has led the organization through an impressive period of growth. Within 10 months of launching its CDN and Site Acceleration suite, Cotendo had secured 100 new clients. Today, in no small part due to Zehavi's personal engagement with business development, the company has over 450 customers.
During this growth period, Zehavi signed strategic partnerships with AT&T, Citrix Systems, Juniper Networks, and Sumitomo/Wam!Net, while aggressively pursuing funding for the company's long-term growth strategy and continued technology innovation. Zehavi's efforts, backed by a capable management team, resulted in investment from Sequoia, Benchmark, and Tenaya Capital, and lately Citrix, Juniper and Sumitomo. Zehavi's insistence on innovation has paid off, with an industry-leading entrée into mobile acceleration in mid-2011.
Zehavi has almost 20 years of executive leadership experience in multinational high-technology companies, including Commtouch Software and Shemer - Auto Arbitrage Ltd., which Zehavi cofounded.
