Eli Portnoy is a CEO @ BackEngine.ai | Previously founder & CEO of two successfully exited companies at BackEngine.ai. Colleagues describe them as "Eli is one of the smartest and most inspirational young executives I've ever worked with. He demonstrates wisdom beyond his years and makes smart and thoughtful decisions that deliver results. His enthusiasm is contagious and I always left our conversations energized and excited. Simply put, he gets people fired up! Not only can he lead, his attention to detail and his input-focused leadership help his team focus and execute on the right priorities that drive the right business outcomes. While most acquisitions fail, Eli's unique combination of leadership and management skills has turned a young startup into Telenav's fastest-growing business unit!", "Eli is a seasoned entrepreneur with unparalleled ability to both craft a vision, strategy, and then execute on both! Eli thrives on uncertainty and uses his overly analytical self to navigate through it. Eli is a wonderful person to work with, he is able to create a warm, laid back yet high achieving environment. I am proud to consider Eli a friend and mentor, I look forward to our paths crossing again!", and "Eli was always a voice of reason, a beacon of objectivity & rationality. He methodically worked through any problem and advocated for the right solution, even if the solution wasn't the popular one. Eli deals with peers and superiors alike with utmost respect. As such working over him, with him as a peer, or under him, is a pleasure for anyone given, given that you know your idea will be reviewed fairly and objectively and you'll get critical yet constructive feedback. Eli could and often did come up with creative solutions for complex issues and he's unflappable in the face of such complex challenges. Eli is a rock. Plain and simple. He's transparent (in a good way), open to creative solutions, highly analytical, and humble (he can admit when he's wrong and then move on). I'd work with, or for, him again in a heartbeat."
