Ofer Gneezy is President and Chief Executive Officer of iBasis, a leader in international long distance, VoIP, and prepaid calling cards. As co-founder of iBasis in 1996, Ofer is one of the true visionaries of the IP telephony industry and a recipient of Pulver.com's Industry Pioneer Award. He was named Best Business Leader for 2007 in the annual Capacity Magazine Awards. Ofer was an early believer in the power of the Internet to change global telecommunications and quickly established iBasis as the first provider of toll-quality Voice-over-IP (VoIP) service. Prior to founding iBasis, Ofer was president of Acuity Imaging, Inc., a multinational leader in industrial automation technology. He led Acuity to achieve significant increases in earnings, revenues and stockholder equity before successfully orchestrating the company's acquisition by RVSI, the second-largest company in the industry. The acquisition provided Acuity with strong financial backing and access to the semiconductor industry while delivering liquidity to Acuity investors. Previously, as president and CEO of Automatix, Inc., Ofer led the turnaround of the company to growth and sustained quarterly profitability and managed its merger with Itran, Inc. to form Acuity. Ofer is a graduate of the Advanced Management Program at Harvard University's Graduate School of Business Administration and has an M.S. in engineering from M.I.T.
