I am confident that Yuval’s mentorship for the company and the perspective he brings to the board of directors will prove invaluable.”  

A serial entrepreneur, business leader and advisor, Yuval Bar-Gil brings vast industry knowledge, building on his years of experience starting at Bain & Company through his leadership positions with Stanley Black & Decker and more recently his board positions with Aidoc, WhiteSource, CyberMDX, Scan Modul, Nexite, and Cappitech. Mr. Bar-Gil holds bachelor's degrees with honors in Accounting and Law from Tel Aviv University. He also has an M.B.A. from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

Kontakt.io is the industry leader in healthcare RTLS space,” commented Bar-Gil. “They are fixing the problems that have been blocking the adoption of RTLS solutions in healthcare for decades.
