Lenchner

Some might see Or Lenchner ’ s journey to the top job at Bright Data as unconventional . In 2015 , after using the company ’ s product a few times , Lenchner sent an email to the then CEO ( and co-founder ) of Bright Data sharing product feedback and suggestions . Minutes later , he received a reply inviting him for an in-person meeting .

And the rest , as they say , is history – with Lenchner joining the industry-leading public web data collection platform . “ I didn ’ t have any aspirations to work for a company , but the meeting went so well , and I was so impressed by the innovative path these two founders took , as well as by the huge potential the data domain carries , that I literally sold all my assets the next day and joined the company as product manager .”
Sounds unconventional , particularly when you consider that Lenchner – who is passionate about developing products – has no academic degree . Lenchner argues however that the way he was recruited , and three years later nominated as CEO , offers a genuine insight into Bright Data ’ s culture and DNA .
