Top SchoolShalev Keren is a cryptography-focused founder and product leader with 10 years of hands-on experience building MPC and blockchain tooling, currently serving as Co-Founder and CPO at Sodot. He combines deep implementation expertise—from GPU-accelerated elliptic curve math and AES to optimized C/C++ MPC stacks—with product and architecture leadership that bridges security, UX, and on-prem key management for crypto custody. Before Sodot he consulted on MPC and ZK systems (including a ZK-based anonymous trading engine for a new L1) and served as a vulnerability researcher in Israel’s Prime Ministerial office, earning the Israel Defense Prize. Comfortable moving from proofs and protocols to production microservices, he brings rare full-stack crypto craftsmanship informed by both academic research and real-world security operations.
