We are excited to have both Matthew and Nurit with us as we continue to drive consistent long-term growth at Cognyte.”
“We sincerely appreciate Richard’s valuable contributions and guidance during his tenure on the Cognyte board,” added Mr. Shanks. “Richard played a key role in establishing Cognyte as an independent company with market leading technology and a solid foundation for sustainable growth.”
Mr. O'Neill served until December 2023 as the Deputy Special Agent in Charge of Cyber Operations at the United States Secret Service, where he directed the agency's global cyber investigative strategies and oversaw efforts to dismantle transnational criminal networks. During his tenure, he served as the Director of the Asset Forfeiture Branch and as the Director of the Global Investigative Operations Center, where he established the Secret Service's first agencywide criminal investigative fusion center. Mr. O'Neill holds certifications from Carnegie Mellon University and American University and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from James Madison University. He currently serves as Co-Founder and Partner at 5OH Consulting LLC.
Ms. Benjamini is a Partner and CFO at F2 Venture Capital, bringing over 20 years of experience as a CFO for leading software companies, including CrazyLabs Ltd., Wix (Nasdaq: WIX), CopperGate Communications Ltd. and Compugen (Nasdaq: CGEN).
