Uri Levine: The Opening SUMMIT's Keynote Speaker
Waze, the world's largest community based application
Uri Levine, Keynote Speaker at the Opening SUMMIT, is co-founder of Waze, the free mobile application dedicated to traffic and community-based navigation Founded in Israel in 2008, it is a GPS navigator that now brings together the world's largest community, with over 200 million drivers.
Waze was sold to market giant Google in June 2013, for over $1 billion. When he placed the fruits of that transaction in a retirement savings plan, Uri Levine noticed that the bank was deducting exorbitant processing fees. That is when he came up with the idea behind the company of which he is now Chairman: FeeX. A start-up born in 2012, it offers users a free service that detects and helps lower bank fees charged to savings account holders, a market estimated at some $600 billion dollars at the time, in the United States alone. FeeX thus makes it possible for users to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars from their investment plans.
Doing Others Good, and Doing it Well
Uri Levine dedicates his energies solely to consumer services, which both create huge value for a tremendous number of users, and helps them save both time and money. Uri Levine's philosophy could be summed up as follows: doing others good, and doing it well.
Thirty years in the world of mobile and new technologies have crystallised the expertise and skills of this passionately-driven serial entrepreneur, currently involved in some twelve companies. Drawing upon an impressive career that has taken him to different sectors including product development, marketing, business development and entrepreneurship, Uri Levine is a model for all those who have chosen the same path and now gives conferences throughout the world, sharing lessons that are as valuable to the young entrepreneurs as to the most seasoned CEOs who turn out to hear him.
