Simon Raveh is a hands-on VP of Software Engineering with 15+ years building and modernizing enterprise and B2B platforms, currently leading a distributed team of 40+ engineers at ICANN from Sunnyvale. He combines deep architecture and developer-experience expertise—driving cloud-native, event-based platforms, containers, Kubernetes and a 3x productivity boost through a platform engineering approach—with pragmatic leadership that doubled delivery velocity. Simon is known for transforming legacy systems and SDLC practices (trunk-based development, CI/CD, “you build it, you run it”) and for recruiting and structuring small, high-performing remote teams. His work has included impactful initiatives such as automating gTLD registration systems that saved consumers over $1B annually and replatforming core services to AWS. Trained at Stanford GSB on technology leadership, he blends startup agility (founder of Octopus Software) with enterprise-scale discipline.
