Zero Networks has announced the appointment of Yaara Licht as its VP Finance. Licht will be responsible for establishing the finance department at the Israeli cybersecurity startup and overseeing its financial activities in Israel, the U.S., Europe, and other countries where the company operates commercially.
Prior to joining Zero Networks, Licht served as a controller and CFO at Brooks Keret, one of Israel’s largest financial services providers for startup companies. She also provided financial services to startup companies, supporting their global growth.
“Yaara joins us at a time when we are experiencing accelerated growth and preparing to expand and establish our international operations,” said Benny Lakunishok, co-founder and CEO of Zero Networks. “Yaara’s extensive experience in managing global financial services for growing hi-tech companies will help us build a solid and professional financial infrastructure that will support the next stages of our growth. I have no doubt that she will contribute a lot to our success in the coming years.”
Zero Networks, founded in 2019, has already raised $45 million, with $20 million coming from a Series B funding round at the end of 2023. The startup’s solution, launched in March 2022, is an automated SaaS platform that learns all network traffic and restricts user and machine access to only strictly necessary assets.
