Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLiza Katz is a pragmatic engineering leader and CEO based in Tel Aviv with two decades of hands-on experience specializing in Search, GenAI, and scalable systems. She moves fast from first principles to production, having led award-winning teams (including a Webby-winning "Human or Not" game that powered over 3M AI conversations) and steered platform work at Elastic on Kibana observability and performance. Comfortable from low-level C/C++ optimization to front-end and full-stack product delivery, she has repeatedly cut costs and improved performance in high-throughput environments. An active open-source contributor, her Kibana work improved FullStory and APM integrations and observability around memory and CI timings. She combines consulting and executive roles—building solutions herself, then codifying processes so teams can scale without guessing. Notably, she prioritizes radical clarity over buzzwords, turning complex AI and search problems into simple, auditable systems.
