A child of Silicon Valley (and Silicon Beach), Gilad has had technology around him all his life. From his early days at Borland working in client-server application development to the .com boom, he has consistently worked on high availability data intensive environments. With a passion for bringing information and control to the hands of ordinary people, Gilad has been involved in several .org projects that brought the power of mass media and the internet to local and global initiatives. Splitting his time between California and Barcelona for much of the last eight years, he has participated as technical lead in several enterprise development projects. As CTO, Gilad has put together an international team of developers and designers ready to deliver the next generation of internet experiences.
