Oren is a Ph.D. expert in Computer Vision and video analytics. Prior to working on Magisto, Oren led teams to solve "impossible" problems in elite R&D organizations and in Applied Materials. In 2005 he was awarded the prestigious Marr-Prize Honorable Mention for his publications.
The idea for Magisto was conceived after Oren's first daughter was born. Oren and his wife were frustrated by the difficulty of trying to edit and share precious family memories. This frustration was turned into a Start-up idea: Oren partnered with his friend, Dr. Alex Rav-Acha, with the goal of making professional and high-quality video editing easy for everyone.
