JFrog’s co-founder built a business around the software most people never see. His story runs from an unlikely investor pitch to a public company, with a stubborn belief that the people you hire early decide what happens next.

Shlomi Ben Haim is the co-founder, CEO and Chairman of JFrog, the Sunnyvale and Israel based company that built Artifactory and turned the unglamorous business of storing binaries into a Nasdaq listed platform for the software supply chain.
