Monica Iancu, MIND CTI’s CEO, commented: “In August 2024, MIND celebrates 24 years as a public company. We have delivered some years of growth and encountered some difficult periods, including the present year, with multiple challenges to overcome. We have an incredibly strong billing platform, highly scalable analytic enterprise solutions, a flexible messaging platform and a strong team with proven successful execution. It is the right time for me to retire as CEO and to transition into the role of Chairperson of the Board, and I intend to continue to hold my shareholder position for the foreseeable future. After we completed a selection process, the Board of Directors has nominated Mr. Ariel Glassner for the CEO position. Mr. Glassner brings over 25 years of leadership experience and his career includes CEO roles at startup companies during the last five years. Mr. Glassner shaped his expertise in Telco solutions during his 15-year tenure at Amdocs, leading the implementation of complex solutions for major telecommunication operators. He played a pivotal role in driving revenues and overseeing transactions, and is also a graduate of the Amdocs Excellent Leaders program.
“We built MIND around a culture of integrity and innovation that will continue to serve our employees and customers for years to come. We own great technology, and have a team that is ready to deliver a bright and secure future for our customers. I am confident that Ariel will preserve the same values and believe he is the right leader to take MIND to new heights.”
