Itai Sadan

Co-Founder & CEO at Duda
Itai Sadan founded Duda to help small businesses connect with potential customers anywhere, anytime and anyplace. Itai started the company from his garage in Mountain View, CA, with his high school friend, Amir Glatt, who is now CTO. In 2008 they both noticed how the Internet was shifting towards mobile and the need for small businesses to create mobile optimized sites to attract customers on the go. Today Duda offers multiple products including mobile website, fully responsive websites and is leading the space of website personalization. Duda's fast paced growth has earned it the 185th position on Inc 500 fastest growing companies in 2014.

Itai's mobile web expertise has been cited by USA Today, Website Magazine, The Huffington Post, Mobile Entertainment and more. He speaks regularly on the local, mobile and social space, at industry events hosted by such organizations as BIA Kelsey, Constant Contact, Local Search Association and the Israeli Conference.

Prior to founding Duda, Itai held business development, product and engineering positions at companies such as SAP and Amdocs. At age 21, he also founded InterSight, a start-up for data storage. Itai has a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Ben Gurion in Israel.

“Duda” is a varitation of “Dude,” which is the main character in my favorite movies of all time, The Big Lebowski. My favorite quote from the film is: "Well, sir, it's this rug I had. It really tied the room together."
