Emil Kogan

After a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Emil started a career in video production in both the private sector and for local television channels. Emil was also a high-school teacher in Journalism and mass communications.

 

“At some point, life took a turn-around, and I found myself working in computer communications and networking. I became a certified Cisco technician and trainer, and I had the opportunity to become a technical trainer for a global satellite communications company. ” 

 

Emil worked there for nine years, where his manager was Boaz Neeman-Golan, who is now D-Fend’s Technical Support Team Leader. 

 

“After leaving the company, Boaz and I kept in touch, and everything I heard about D-Fend was incredibly interesting and appealing, so when Boaz offered me a job opportunity, I was extremely excited to become part of the company and learn about the fascinating technology and solution.”

 

As a Professional Services Engineer, Emil enjoys every moment at the company, interacting with the teams and customers, engaging in customer training development and delivery, which he is very familiar with, and customer support.

 

“In this role, I go deep into the technical aspects of the solution. This is a great opportunity to advance my skills as a professional, hands-on expert.” 

 

Emil looks forward to learning and growing in this position, expanding his knowledge, and contributing to the company in additional areas.
