Eyal Harari, RADCOM's outgoing CEO
After over 20 years in various leadership roles within the company, including four years as CEO, leading the company through 16 consecutive revenue growth quarters, driving increased profitability, while establishing a robust recurring revenue business model as a software company, RADCOM is well positioned for a change in leadership. Now, it is the right time to move on to the next challenge and entrust the leadership to my successor. I will support Guy Shemesh and serve as an advisor to ensure a seamless transition.
