2 Oct , 2017 – Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX:WBT), an Israel-based semiconductor company that is seeking to develop the next generation of memory technology, today announced the appointment of Mr Coby Hanoch as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director.

Executive Chairman, David Perlmutter, welcomed the appointment of Mr Hanoch as a key step in the next and important phase of Weebit Nano’s technology development and potential commercialisation.

Commenting on the appointment, Mr Perlmutter said, “We are very excited to have Coby on board to lead Weebit Nano through its next stage of development. Coby brings to the company extensive executive leadership experience, including significant experience in driving growth in high technology companies, and in developing partnerships with large semiconductor players. On behalf of the Board, I welcome Coby to the Weebit Nano team. We also thank Mr Yossi Keret for his significant contribution to Weebit Nano during his time as CEO.”

Mr Hanoch comes to Weebit Nano with 15 years’ experience in engineering and engineering management, and 22 years’ in sales management and executive roles. His hands-on experience in leading companies from early stage development to market means he is very well positioned to lead Weebit Nano through its next stage of development, which is expected to include continued advancement towards a commercially viable memory solution, as well as exploring possible commercial collaboration or partnership opportunities.

Mr Hanoch was most recently CEO at EDAcon Partners, where he provided business development, sales and marketing support for small companies, helping startups define their corporate strategy, sales strategy, and raise capital. Mr Hanoch holds a Bachelor of Science in Systems Design from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Hanoch said, “I am extremely excited to be joining Weebit Nano at this point in the Company’s evolution. I firmly believe in the need for a new memory storage technology, and am very enthusiastic about Weebit Nano’s technology and the fantastic development results achieved to date. I look forward to utilising my skillset and experience to drive Weebit Nano towards its commercialisation goals.”

As previously announced to the market, both the Chairman, Mr Perlmutter and the existing CEO, Mr Keret, will play a key role in the transition to Mr Hanoch. Mr Keret will remain as a Non-Executive Director on the Board of Weebit Nano when he ceases his executive duties at the end of September. Mr Hanoch will begin with Weebit Nano on 1 October 2017, at which point in time Mr Perlmutter will return to a Non-Executive Chairman role.

About Weebit Nano Limited

Weebit Nano is a leader in the development of next generation computer memory storage, and plans to become the new industry standard in this space.

Incorporated in Israel in 2015, Weebit Nano was built to address the growing need for data storage technology around a revolutionary memory technology. The Company has secured several patents to ensure optimal commercial and legal protection for its ground-breaking technology.

This quantum leap will allow semiconductor memory elements to become significantly cheaper, faster, more reliable and more energy efficient than the existing Flash technology.
