September 8, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Application data security provider Imperva (imperva.com) has appointed Aviv Boim chief financial officer and general manager for Israel, bringing his experience in technology-sector finance, public offerings, operations, and mergers and acquisitions to Imperva's management team.

"Aviv Boim possesses a rare combination of international finance, operations and public offering expertise," Imperva chief executive officer Shlomo Kramer said in a statement. "Aviv's stellar background and skill set will be a strategic asset to Imperva as we continue to expand internationally and move into our next phase of corporate development."

Boim was CFO of carrier network equipment provider Orckit Communications (orckit.com) before joining Imperva. At Orckit, he led NASDAQ and TASE public offerings, managed global business development initiatives, and directed strategic acquisitions and divestitures.

Most recently, Boim guided technology investment firm Tikcro Technologies (tikcro.com) in selecting and negotiating its venture capital funding.

Prior to Orckit Communications, he worked in London as an investment banker for BT Alex Brown's (alexbrown.db.com) technology group, where he managed mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings.

In late July, discount web host and registrar GoDaddy (godaddy.com) chose Imperva's SecureSphere Web Application Firewall to add protection to its e-commerce services.
