Yotam Segev aims to lead the way in the new and expanding cloud data security market. The space is part of the larger cyber security market and is growing quickly as data security becomes more and more complicated, Yotam says. 

Yotam’s company, Cyera, is a cloud data security firm that, while only being a year-and-a-half old, has already raised a large sum of capital. Carol presses Yotam on why he feels he is a “leader” in this emerging space. 

In this episode, Carol and Yotam discuss his company’s culture and Yotam challenges the widespread sentiment on work-life balance, saying some people prefer the fast-paced challenge of building something rather than being at a laid-back company. They also talk about the difficulties involved in being in such a new space and hiring employees. 

You’ll hear about his time in the renowned Talpiot Program in Israel and how it propelled him to be the leader he is now. Yotam says a big part of his culture is being open with each other about mistakes and discussing them as a team.
