Avner Aharoni is a founder and seasoned technology leader with over a decade of experience building and shipping complex developer and platform products, most recently as a Principal Program Manager on Azure Kusto after long tenure at Microsoft. He has led cross-functional teams across foundational developer experiences—from Visual Studio managed languages and XAML to the HoloLens SDK—demonstrating a rare blend of deep technical understanding and program management discipline. His background combines an MBA, a CPA-trained foundation in accounting and economics, and hands-on product incubation, enabling him to translate technical roadmaps into commercially viable products. Now leading an early-stage stealth startup from Israel, he brings enterprise-grade delivery practices to startup pace, with a track record of moving projects from incubation to production. An interesting through-line: he pairs rigorous audit-style thinking from his PwC and accounting roots with a decades-long focus on developer tooling and cloud services.
