Magisto’s Emotion Sense Technology (EST)
The Team
Dr. Oren Boiman
CEO & CO-FOUNDER
I am a scientist and a father. After the birth of our first child, my wife and I shot buckets of digital images. Like every other new parent, we were eager to make home movies to celebrate the new addition to our family. It took us two WEEKS to come up with three minutes of video we were proud of! The irony? I was a Ph.D. student at the time, researching the science of Video Vision.That was when I realized that I could apply my work in Artificial Intelligence to an everyday need for millions of people. That was the day I realized the world needed Magisto.

Dr. Alex Rav-Acha
CTO & CO-FOUNDER
I have always viewed the world through a mathematician's eye. What others see as a nice looking video, I perceive as a well optimized selection and a solution to an algorithmic problem. I'm also a voracious movie fan. With my work at Magisto, I get to feed both my creative and scientific curiosity. I'm fascinated by the process of applying mathematical logic to the artistic process of filmmaking.

Tal Dagan
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
I've always loved creating stuff. Taking small pieces, adding vision, soul and lots of hard work to make something bigger than anyone imagined at the start. Contrary to the two math wizards above, I'm always searching for that 1+1 = 3. That's what I love about Magisto. An incredible team from very different backgrounds, coming together to bring to life something truly amazing, something way bigger than the sum of its parts.
