Title: Yevgeny Dibrov’s inspiring journey from immigrant to CEO of a multi-billion dollar company
Subtitle: Discover the remarkable rise of Yevgeny Dibrov, CEO of Aramis Security, in an exclusive interview with Eran Gefen on “Half an Hour of Inspiration.”
Tel Aviv, Israel – Yevgeny Dibrov, CEO and co-founder of Aramis Security, a leading information security company in Israel, recently sat down with Eran Gefen for an inspiring discussion on his path to success. Dibrov’s upbringing, coupled with his unyielding drive for achievement, has propelled him to become the head of a multi-billion-dollar company at just 35 years old.
Dibrov’s journey began at the age of 4 when he immigrated to Israel from the Soviet Union. Growing up, his mother worked tirelessly to support the family, and Dibrov himself took on odd jobs, including carrying boxes, to save enough money to buy a car for NIS 6,000 (Israeli New Shekel).
In their conversation, Gefen highlighted the often noteworthiness of the hunger for success exhibited by many CEOs he has worked with. Dibrov’s unrelenting drive for success was undeniably influenced by his challenging childhood. However, there was one moment during the interview when Dibrov was momentarily stumped by Gefen’s question about when he would consider himself to have “arrived.” The CEO later reflected on this moment, suggesting that it captured the depth of his thoughts and ambitions.
Dibrov spoke passionately about Aramis Security, a company he co-founded seven and a half years ago. The firm now boasts a workforce of 650 employees and represents 35% of Fortune 100 companies in the US. With close to a thousand prominent clients paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, Aramis Security has crossed the annual revenue rate of $100 million, with current figures estimated to be at around $150 million. In their most recent round of fundraising, the company’s value surpassed $3.4 billion, raising an impressive $600 million, including $300 million in the latest round alone.
Gefen marveled at the astonishing speed at which Dibrov had risen to his current position, considering his humble background. Dibrov attributed his remarkable transformation to the lessons he learned from his family. Despite their own struggles, his mother and grandparents instilled in him a deep belief in hard work and the pursuit of excellence. Dibrov acknowledged that witnessing his family’s perseverance against all odds and their constant pursuit of success fueled his ambition.
The interview also touched on Aramis Security’s recent recruitment efforts, which secured a massive $300 million investment led by the private equity fund OEP, with Insight Partners among the notable investors. Reflecting on a dinner meeting with Jeff Horing, the founder of Insight Partners, Dibrov explained that he had initially expected an offer of around $100 million. However, Horing surprised him by expressing a desire to invest $400-500 million in the company. Dibrov admitted that he was initially overwhelmed by the magnitude of the offer, but after careful consideration with his co-founder, Nadir Yizrael, he decided to pursue the opportunity.
Dibrov’s rise from a factory worker to the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company exemplifies the power of determination and hard work. As he continues to propel Aramis Security to unprecedented heights, his inspiring story serves as a testament to the boundless potential within each individual, regardless of their beginnings.
