Episode 265: Udi Ziv - Chief Executive Officer, Earnix

Whether it was being a member of an advanced studies program as a child, to moving to Los Angeles from Israel as a teenager, or his experience as part of an elite team called Unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces, Udi has always been up for a challenge and has a passion for solving hard problems. This passion has continued throughout his career as he took the leap of faith into entrepreneurship towards the beginning of his career by building an enterprise software company that was later acquired by SAP. Udi is now looking to replicate the same level of success that he’s had at multiple enterprise software companies at Earnix. The company is a global provider of real-time AI-driven rating, dynamic pricing, product personalization, and fully operationalized telematics solutions for Insurance and Banking. Earnix achieved unicorn status last year after its latest funding round and recently opened its new North American headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * The overview of the tech and startup industry in Israel and the momentum there. * Udi’s full background story and his experience scaling and growing enterprise software companies. * All the details on Earnix, plus use case and customer examples. * Details on the growth plans for hiring at Earnix and what it is like working there in terms of its culture. * Advice for entrepreneurs and CEOs who are looking to expand in the U.S. * And so much more.
