About Shimon Ben-David
Shimon Ben-David is Chief Technology Officer at WEKA. Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States.
Technology only succeeds when it is understood. As a CTO with two decades of experience in Storage, Networking, Cloud, and more recently with Generative AI, my role is to act as a technical catalyst—shaping the future of accelerated computing while ensuring our customers can leverage it today. I am a builder at heart. Whether I am scaling global departments or diving into a personal coding project, I believe a CTO must remain grounded in the technology they represent. This hands-on approach has allowed me to lead several companies through acquisition and grow startups to $100M+ ARR by remaining a trusted subject matter expert for our most critical clients. Key Focus Areas: Technical Translation: Articulating the value of HPC and AI/ML Storage architectures to audiences ranging from deep-technical teams to the C-suite. Organizational Growth: 15 years of experience building high-performing global teams that bridge the gap between engineering and customer success. Industry Stewardship: Contributing to global AI benchmarks via multiple organisations and advising young founders on scaling their technical vision.
