Amir Peleg, Founder and CEO
Amir Peleg founded TaKadu in late 2008 with the vision of using advanced mathematics and software to reduce water loss. Amir is a serial high-tech entrepreneur: in 2005, he founded YaData (acquired by Microsoft in 2008); previously he co-founded Unipier (formerly Cash-U) in 2000 and EVS (NASDAQ: EVSNF) in 1991.
Amir co-founded YaData, a Behavioral Targeting company, and led its rapid growth until its acquisition by Microsoft in early 2008. During that time, YaData raised one round of financing from two leading VCs, recruited a team of top notch scientists (Math & Computer Science) and introduced its first product, generating early revenues. YaData’s solution was recognized as a breakthrough in its field.
During his tenure with Unipier, Amir led the company vision, strategy and fund raising from major VCs. He was responsible for the organization's development and sales growth to annual revenues of $5M from tier-one mobile carriers. In 1991, Amir was one of the founders of EVS Ltd. (Elbit Vision Systems, NASDAQ: EVSNF), and played a key role in its management, sales and marketing activities in Europe and Asia. In 1996, Amir established and managed EVS-US Inc, the US subsidiary of EVS.
Amir holds a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via the IDF TALPIOT program) and an MBA from INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France. As a teenager, Amir won a special prize for young inventors from the Weizmann Institute, Israel.
