Gil is the VP of Product at Israeli AI start-up Edgify.

They are doing something pretty novel, developing an approach to training models directly onto the edge devices, which is super exciting.

Their first use case is within supermarkets and barcodeless items - which is handy with Gil's background being quite retailed focused.

Excited to see how Gil & the team get on next year and beyond.

Hope you enjoy!
