“Ziv brings 30 years of experience, great talent and skill both in finance and business leadership,” said CEO Erez Antebi. “I look forward to working together with him and am very confident that he will contribute significantly to our business strategy and future performance.”

Leitman is a certified public accountant and holds a BA in Economics and Accounting and an MBA in Finance & Information Systems, both from Tel Aviv University.
“This is an exciting time to be joining Allot,” Leitman said. “I look forward to joining the Allot leadership team, contributing to the knowledge and perspective I have gained from my experience in the industry and playing an active role in the company’s success.”
