Eyal Waldman

[1] After the army, he studied for a degree in chemical engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology before moving to computer science.

[2] In 1999, Waldman co-founded Israeli chip maker Mellanox Technologies with three friends from Intel in Yokne’am, later selling the company for US$6.8 billion to Nvidia in 2019.

[6] At Mellanox, Waldman hired 200 engineers, including 20 in the Gaza Strip and 80 in the West Bank town of Rawabi, in a belief that Israeli and Palestinians working together would lead to peace.

When Waldman received word that Danielle was missing, he flew back to Israel from Indonesia and tracked her location via her Apple Watch.

[1] Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, sent a letter to employees in Israel offering support and condolences to Waldman on the killing of his daughter.
