Aron Ezra is an innovator and entrepreneur. He has served as CEO of multiple software companies, all of which he grew over 20x and were acquired in multimillion-dollar exits.

His previous company, OfferCraft, won the Platinum Award from the G&L Roundtable for best new technology; was named Startup of the Year by the Best in Biz Awards; was named one of the Top 20 Most Innovative Technologies; and was profiled in over 200 news stories published in places like The New York Times, Forbes, Quartz, and Business Insider. It was acquired by NRT, a Canadian FinTech company that processes over $20 billion annually.

Earlier, as CEO of MacroView Labs, a mobile software startup used by hospitality, healthcare and retail customers, Aron grew the startup into a powerhouse with tens of millions of users, and dozens of industry awards. It was acquired by Bally Technologies (now part of Light & Wonder).

Additional past highlights include serving as an SVP at Hill & Knowlton (part of WPP); and as a Director at The Advisory Board Company, a healthcare consultancy (part of UnitedHealth). As a thought leader on many business and future technology topics, Aron has been invited to give more than 1,000 presentations at industry conferences.

Eventually, Slav co-founded a few startups, including OfferCraft and MacroView Labs, where he was Chief Technology Officer and Chief Software Architect — each of these software companies were acquired in 8-figure deals. During this time, Slav gained deep, hands-on experience building up and running diverse teams of engineers around the world.
