Silverback Systems has named Ari Cohen as Chief Operating Officer (COO). Cohen, previously Silverback's Vice President of Hardware Engineering and Operations, is an 18-year veteran of the technology industry with extensive experience in silicon- and network-design management. Cohen, who reports directly to Silverback President and Chief Executive Officer Ahmet Houssein, will oversee Silverback's engineering, operations and manufacturing groups as the company brings its patented iSnap Ethernet-acceleration technology to market, in both silicon and host bus adapters (HBAs).
Houssein noted Cohen's significant accomplishments - he was responsible for the development of two generations of successful iSnap silicon - in Cohen being selected for the COO position.
'As we evolve our iSnap technology and expand its application to the HBA market segment, we need to have in place an operations structure able to manage the myriad engineering and manufacturing demands we'll face', said Houssein.
'Ari's extensive experience and success with the iSnap architecture at Silverback are a perfect match for this position; he blends the technical and business background to help us meet those demands'.
Cohen holds a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and a master's degree in business administration from Santa Clara University.
Prior to joining Silverback in 2001, he served as Director of Engineering - first in the Consumer Division, then in the Networking Division - at LSI Logic, where he managed hardware and software engineering teams.
Prior to LSI Logic, Cohen managed an engineering team at IBM Corp.
and before that held an engineering position at National Semiconductor.
