Elon A. Ganor (Hebrew: אילון גנור; born 1950) is an Israeli entrepreneur known for his role as one of the world's first VoIP pioneers.

Cohen and Haramaty developed and manufactured a PC sound card (SpeechBoard TM) that was sold for applications such as multimedia presentations, educational software, to the local visually impaired community in Israel with a unique text to speech software enabling blind people to use a computer in Hebrew and English, voice messaging, IVR, etc.

Later Ganor was appointed as CEO and chairman, and, though objecting at first but convinced by the founder's advise, the company's focus shifted to audio communication software, at first in conjunction with their hardware, and later expanding compatibility to other sound cards.

[12] VocalTec Ltd became a Nasdaq traded company in February 1996, with Ganor as chairman and CEO and Haramaty and Cohen serving as board members.

In 1997 Ganor worked with Michael Spencer (at the time principal at Booz Allen Hamilton who led the Internet Strategy Group of the Communications, Media and Technology practice) to develop a new type of a VoIP exchange phone company.

[14] ITXC became the world's largest VoIP carrier, reaching a market cap of about $8 billion as a Nasdaq company in 2000 (prior to the March 2008 crash).
