Summary
👤
SeniorSa'ar Elias is a cybersecurity-focused product leader and entrepreneur with nine years of hands-on experience spanning full-stack development, vulnerability research, and solutions architecture. As Co-Founder and CPO of Gambit Security and a founding engineer at Sentra, he has repeatedly bridged product, R&D and sales—designing core architectures, leading PoCs, and closing major deals by delivering bespoke technical solutions. His background includes leading award-winning security research teams in the IDF where he pioneered novel research methods and trained the next generation of practitioners. Comfortable both in deep technical work (from Windows and network security to cloud and frontend) and customer-facing roles, he excels at translating complex security challenges into practical product features. Based in Tel Aviv, he combines startup grit with institutional discipline and a knack for rapid, high-quality prototyping. Off-duty he’s more likely to be found savoring cheesecakes or watching airplanes than gaming or sci‑fi—an unexpected personal touch that reflects a practical, detail-oriented mindset.
