Working with Amir at Visionary Machines was a real highlight of my time there. He dove deep into our computer vision systems, quickly internalizing the tech and turning it into a compelling narrative that resonated with both customers and investors. Despite not having an engineering background, he often communicated our value more effectively than the technical team. His ability to bridge deep tech and strategy shaped how the world saw our work.

Amir and I have known each other for over 25 years. We worked together at Advanced Micro Devices in the mid-90s, where he ran operations for a $1 billion memory chip business, and I ran product marketing. Amir has become a seasoned general manager, CEO, and director. In fact, Amir was on my board of directors at Entropic. His insights about areas of operations, business development and product positioning were always invaluable.

Kovio was a game-changing effort that pushed into truly new territory, and leadership had to match that ambition with real conviction. Amir partnered with the engineering team early to deeply understand our key value propositions, then gave us the time, clarity, and confidence to pursue bold ideas in high-performance printed electronics and RFID. He ensured the strategic value was clear for all stakeholders and made sure we had the right team, funding runway, and partnerships to build something real. I still remember him saying, "You go make it happen, I’ll get the money." The platform we built laid the foundation for innovations still in use today, and the experience remains one of the most meaningful of my career.

I’ve worked with Amir across two different phases of his career — first on negotiating hundreds of millions in strategic transactions at AMD, and later during his time as CEO of a technology leading start-up. In each case, he brought sharp strategic vision, creativity, and an ability to break down complexity into actionable, win-win deals. Whether raising capital in tough markets, structuring customer-financed growth, or aligning internal teams, Amir always pushed forward with clarity and drive. He’s one of the most effective and genuinely energizing leaders I’ve worked with.
