This week's guest on The Business Leader Podcast is Or Lenchner,
the CEO of public data collection platform Bright Data. He is
also the founder of the Israel-based digital media agency
Dmarketing, and was a part of the founding team and head of
customer relations for Trophit, a patent-pending technology
company.

We speak to Or about Bright Data's lawsuit against Meta, the
differences between the Israeli and American tech scenes, the
importance of public data for businesses, and much more.

Here's what we discussed:

Can you tell us a bit about your journey to where you are
now? (00:38)

Did you always want to be a CEO? (03:12)

How does the CEO role differ to other C-Suite positions?
(05:49)

How important is it for businesses to utilise data to inform
business decisions? (07:22)

There has been a societal awareness about the use of data and
controversy around data being unknowingly collected, or data
breaches where information is leaked. How do you ensure that
Bright Data technology is ethical and safe? (12:00)

At the beginning of this year, Bright Data filed a lawsuit
against Meta to protect access to public data that the tech
company - formally Facebook - has tried to close access to. Why
did you think this was important? (14:12)

What’s the secret to scaling a business successfully and what
characteristics are important to have in your core leadership
team? (18:39)

Did you come across any challenges working in a company that
had been acquired? (21:25)

Could you tell us about your journey to founding your own
company before working at Bright Data? (23:21)

How has your military experience helped your career in
business? (25:50)

As CEO, you have an important role in influencing and
cultivating a company culture – what values do you think are
important in this culture? (28:14)

How does the tech scene differ in markets across the globe -
for example Israel and the US? (30:16)

The Good News Postcard: If you could choose to be any
fictional character, which would it be and why? (32:56)
