Startup Stage

Uzi Zangi, PLSense

 PLSense provides a unique, revolutionary and complete generic approach for IoT SoC design that achieves minimum energy operation for the targeted performance in a wide range of frequencies (up to 100MHz) dynamically required by the application. While achieving up to 90% energy reduction, as compared to the most advanced competitors, PLSense designs are more reliable, provide better yield and have a longer lifetime.

Uzi Zangi, CEO of PLSense, brings more than 22 years of experience in the Semiconductor industry managing various engineering teams, business and product lines in multi-discipline, worldwide organizations (14 years at Zoran Microelectronics and 6 years at Siverge Networks and 2 years at PLSense Ltd.). Uzi has 2 years of experience as CEO of a young start-up, 4 years of experience as Product Line General Manager in consumer electronics market and 6 years of experience as VP R&D in the Telecom market. Uzi managed the development of 6 new key technologies development and 12 different projects from concept to customer mass production. Uzi's strength is both in business management and also complex technical projects management with multi discipline R&D, Application, Marketing and Sales teams. Uzi holds M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Electrical Eng. from the Technion, Israel.
