INTEL’S FORMER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
DAVID ‘DADI’ PERLMUTTER JOINS BOARD
Weebit Nano Limited and Radar Iron Ltd are delighted to advise that David ‘Dadi’ Perlmutter will join

"I'm very excited to be joining Weebit Nano as a non-executive director,” Mr Perlmutter said. “I've
been looking at ReRAM technology for years and there is a huge opportunity.
“WeeBit Nano’s technology has great potential, with opportunities in various categories: the lowpower
and high-density potential allows it to be a major game-changer in growing parts of the digital
revolution.”
He said he decided to joined the board because he was enamoured with exciting new technology
with great business prospects. “As a business person, non-volatile memories are one of the most
important factors in the Digital Economy Revolution, from the Cloud to mobile, and to Internet of
Things, and I am intrigued in creating the next huge step in this world,” Mr Perlmutter said.
Weebit Nano CEO Yossi Keret said he was thrilled to have Dadi Perlmutter join the board.
“Mr Perlmutter brings a wealth of experience with him to Weebit, which will be invaluable as the
company looks to reach a major milestone in technology maturity, and commercialisation of its
technology over the next 18 months.”
The former Intel Vice President brings deep knowledge, industry connections, and vast experience in
the semiconductor industry to his board position at Weebit Nano, as well as providing invaluable
skills in areas including watching over complexity, advising management, and assistance in strategy
creation - all of which will be priceless to Weebit’s management and shareholders.
During his 34-year tenure at Intel, Mr Perlmutter held various senior technology and management
positions and was directly responsible for developing several of Intel's major products and
