Today is Day 1 as CEO of Similarweb. Let's Go!!!
This feels full circle. I started my career in SEO and SEM, watching keywords, rankings and competitors. I was a Similarweb customer. It was my edge.
Now I get to lead it.
AI is rewriting the rules of every company and industry. AI is the engine driving a whole new economy, and data is the fuel: real-time, diverse, rich behavioral data on how people navigate the web, explore apps, shop, and now prompt. That’s exactly what Similarweb has built over nearly two decades.
I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity ahead: helping our customers forge a path in this new world, with the intelligence and wisdom to know where they should (and shouldn’t) invest.
Our customers want better decisions, faster. Where to spend the next dollar. Which market to enter. Which competitor to worry about. Similarweb helps them move from “what happened” to “what should I do next.”
Huge thanks to Or Offer and the Similarweb team for building a global category leader, and to the Board for their trust in me. My job is to build on that phenomenal foundation and help write Similarweb’s future.
Nearly 20 years of milestones, but the biggest and best chapters are still ahead.
Toda raba. Yalla! Let’s get started!
