Saar is the rare kind of leader who doesn’t just advise – he builds alongside you in the trenches,” said Dr. Maor Farid, Co-Founder and CEO of Leo AI. “He is a visionary, an extraordinary operator, and someone who fundamentally understands our customers and our industry at a level very few people in the world do. Having him formally join as our Strategic Advisor is a defining moment for Leo AI.

He founded Augury in 2011 and built it into a global leader in Machine Health and Production Health solutions, raising over $360 million from leading financial and strategic investors.
