Directors

Mr. Naimi brings over 26 years of successful Silicon Valley startup leadership, including co-founding four startups with successful IPOs in US, Japan and Brazil.

Mr. Naimi started his high–tech career as Head of Technology at Centex Telemanagement, a startup at the time, and led Centex to its IPO, which preceded its subsequent acquisition by MCI. He continued his career as Executive Vice President and COO at Prestige International, Japan’s largest Customer Relationship Management organization, that later had a successful IPO in Japan. Mr. Naimi was a co–founder of Genesys Labs, a leader in delivering real-time customer interaction software solutions to medium–and large–sized businesses. Genesys Labs went public and was subsequently acquired by Alcatel for $1.6 billion in 2000. He participated in a successful startup, VisaNet do Brazil, funded by Visa International and four major banks in Brazil. VisaNet do Brazil (changed name to Cielo) has since become the largest e–commerce and retail banking group in Latin America with a successful IPO in 2009 raising $4.3 billion, the largest IPO in the world that year. Mr. Naimi also co–founded several other companies including LiteScape Technologies, IQLabs, and Sentek.
