Early Years in Jerusalem
Amitai looks back at his early years in Jerusalem, Israel. Born in 1976, he had a classic 80s and 90s childhood. The oldest of four brothers, he grew up playing and following basketball, a passion he cherishes until today.
Even as a child, Amitai was totally committed to excellence and was a perfectionist student who wanted to earn perfect scores on his tests. Amitai was recruited into combat army service from Jerusalem and is very proud of his days as an officer in the IDF.
After completing his time in the army, Amitai set out to travel the world. That’s when he encountered a very interesting opportunity to be a salesman at a New York company that sold Yellow Pages advertisements to businesses across the tri-state area.
Amitai quickly rose to manage a team of 20 employees but decided that there was more to experience in his mid-20s. After working for a while, he returned to Israel to complete his studies, earning his law degree, and later, an Executive MBA degree.
He then went on to work in the sales departments of several High Tech companies, including SuperDerivatives (NASDAQ: ICE) and Earnix, his first VP of Sales position, before transitioning to entrepreneurship and joining Dr. Arik Liberzon, CTO & Co-Founder at Pentera.
