For more than 25 years, Guy Yehiav has built and scaled technology businesses around one core principle: create meaningful value for customers by helping them achieve the outcomes that matter most to their businesses. His career spans supply chain, retail, healthcare and manufacturing, including entrepreneurship, public company leadership, acquisitions, successful integrations and enterprise transformation.
