Mr. Leitman will be replacing Mr. Alberto Sessa who will be leaving the company to pursue other professional opportunities.

Leitman, who will join Allot on November 6, 2019, brings with him significant financial, technological and management experience. He served from 2017 as the CFO of Powermat Technologies, a wireless charging pioneer leader, and from 2011 to 2017 as CFO of Partner Communications, one of Israel’s leading mobile, fixed-line, Internet and TV service providers. Between 2002 to 2011, he served as Deputy CEO and CFO of Paz Oil Company, and CFO of Comverse Inc., a leading provider of telecommunications products. From 1989 to 2002 Mr. Leitman also held CFO positions at Discount Investment Corp., Lucent Technologies EIS, Kimberly-Clark Israel and Optrotech (Orbotech). Mr. Leitman is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a B.A. in Economics and Accounting and an M.B.A. in Finance & Information Systems, both from the Tel Aviv University.

“Ziv brings 30 years of experience, great talent and skill both in finance and business leadership. I look forward to working together with him and am very confident that he will contribute significantly to our business strategy and future performance," said Erez Antebi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allot. “Over the past three years, Alberto has been instrumental in helping turn Allot around and reach a path of sustained growth. On behalf of the Board of Directors and Allot management, I want to thank Alberto for his years of outstanding service. We all wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

 

“This is an exciting time to be joining Allot,” said Ziv Leitman, Allot’s new CFO. “I look forward to joining the Allot leadership team, to contributing the knowledge and perspective I have gained from my experience in the industry and to playing an active role in the company’s success.”
