Omer Keilaf has spent 20+ years driving cutting edge technologies from inception to commercialization. As the co-founder and CEO of Innoviz Technologies, Keilaf is helping enable the commercialization of autonomous vehicles by providing high-performance LiDAR at mass market prices. He has overseen the company’s tremendous success as it overtook older, more established LiDAR developers to earn a design win with BMW, marking the industry’s first major design win for series production of autonomous vehicles. Last year, Keilaf took Innoviz public in a SPAC merger with Collective Growth Corporation, with a valuation of $1.4 billion. Prior to co-founding Innoviz, Omer served as an officer in an elite technological unit of the Intelligence Corps of the Israel Defense Forces. His speciality disciplines are in opto-mechanics, electrical engineering, and MEMS. He holds a BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering and an MBA, all from Tel Aviv University.
