Gong announced on Wednesday the appointment of Liron Shtraichman as Chief R&D Officer and Guy Havusha as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Shtraichman previously led the global engineering organization at monday.com across its platform and product teams through a period of rapid growth, most recently driving the company’s transformation to AI-native engineering.
“Gong is at a rare moment: unmatched insight into how revenue teams win, a platform already putting agents to work for thousands of customers, and leading a major technology transition,” said Shtraichman. “The people I met throughout the process made the decision easy. I’m looking forward to learning from our customers and the team that built Gong, and to pushing our leading agentic innovation even further.”
Previously serving as Vice President of Platform Security at Gong, Havusha now takes the reins as CISO, a role he is familiar with, having also previously served as Global CISO at monday.com. In this new role, Havusha leads Gong’s global security, privacy, and compliance programs, ensuring that the customer data powering Gong’s AI and the agents acting on it meet the highest enterprise standards.
“Enterprises are rebuilding their revenue stacks around AI, and Gong Revenue AI is at the center of that shift. The next phase is about agents that don’t just surface insights, but take action and deliver results at enterprise scale,” said Amit Bendov, CEO and co-founder of Gong. “Liron has scaled a global engineering organization and led a full transition to AI-native development. And with Guy leading security, our customers can put AI agents to work knowing their data is protected to the highest enterprise standards. That’s exactly the experience to keep transforming how revenue teams win.”
