“We’re at a critical juncture for the company as Synthace is turning the global life science research market on its head by fully automating the biology lab and managing the full research data value chain, making experiments that were never before possible a reality,” said Bob Wiederhold, Chairman of Synthace. “Today scientists in five out of the top 10 global pharma companies are using Synthace to completely automate their labs, accelerating scientific research and rapidly expanding adoption of our automation platform. Guy Levy-Yurista is an exceptional executive who brings a unique blend of leadership to Synthace with his diverse background in business, product development, and sales.

Based on his decades of high-tech business experience, Levy-Yurista is uniquely qualified to continue to serve the market and fill customers’ critical needs by evolving Synthace’s strategy, scaling its operations, and growing its business to continue to innovate.

“Synthace is driving a true revolution in global biotech and pharma. I couldn’t be more honored to take on the leadership role with this innovative team, particularly at a time where the world is coming to recognize the power of life sciences. The incredible response Synthace has seen from the market, and top pharma companies, is a clear signal that the platform Synthace is bringing to market fills an unmet need,” said Levy-Yurista. “I am excited to lead Synthace through its next phase of growth as we seek to digitally transform life sciences research to the great benefit of all.”

Levy-Yurista joins Synthace from Sisense, where he served as Chief Strategy Officer. Sisense is a high-growth big data analytics SaaS company based in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. Guy also held leadership roles in Marketing and Product, spearheading the definition, development and marketing motion of Sisense’s big data platform which won numerous industry awards and analyst recognition. Levy-Yurista held additional senior leadership roles at MicroStrategy, McAfee, AOL and several startups during his career. Levy-Yurista received his PhD degree in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
