Ziv Aviram is an Israeli businessman and investor best known as a cofounder of Mobileye, the company behind camera-based driver assistance and autonomous vehicle technology. Born in 1959, he served as an infantry officer in the Israel Defense Forces and then studied industrial engineering and management at Ben Gurion University, graduating in 1984.

Before tech, Aviram made his name turning around struggling businesses. He served as CEO of Keter Books retail stores and later Gali Shoes retail stores, and in 1993 he became CEO of the Atrakzia resort park. He led all three from losses to profits. In 1999 he teamed up with Professor Amnon Shashua of Hebrew University to found Mobileye.
How Ziv Aviram made his fortune
Mobileye is the source of most of Aviram's wealth. He served as president and CEO as the company grew its vision technology for cars. He and Shashua took Mobileye public in 2014, and three years later Intel bought the company at a $15.3 billion valuation. After the 2017 deal, Aviram retired from Mobileye and turned his focus to OrCam.
He did not slow down. In 2010 he and Shashua had founded OrCam Technologies, which makes portable artificial vision devices for people who are blind or have low vision. Aviram led OrCam as president and CEO for 11 years and is now its co-chairman. He has also invested in tech companies such as REE, Tevel and Buildots, and cofounded MediCane Health in 2019.

Outside his companies, Aviram has also partnered with Tidhar Company on a hotel and residential project on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv. He has put part of his wealth toward giving. In 2021 he and his four children set up the Aviram Foundation, which launched the Aviram Awards, Tech For Humanity, to recognize technology that helps people and improves everyday life.
