She was the only woman among the 9 founders and co-founded the company while pregnant with her third child.
Evelyn eventually left Mellanox to focus on new endeavors. She wanted to build something new from scratch and recognized an industry wide need that she could help solve. proteanTecs was founded with a mission to enable the electronics industry to continue to scale. As veterans of the industry, the founders witnessed firsthand the rising challenge of achieving quality and reliability without affecting cost and performance, especially as technologies and processes advanced. The company introduced a one-stop software platform which applies machine learning algorithms and analytics to novel data created by comprehensive design analysis and on-chip Agents (silicon IPs), providing actionable insights and newfound visibility into electronics.
In her spare time, Evelyn has been playing on the Haifa women’s volleyball league for the last 9 years. She enjoys long walks, and even hiked the Camino de Santiago from France to Spain. When she needs to unwind and clear her head, she enjoys playing games on her phone.

She invests a lot in educating those around her and believes in mentorship. It is important for Evelyn to provide an open door and opportunity to women.
