Ariel is the Managing Director of APAC at Penlink. Based in Singapore, he works closely with Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies across the Asia-Pacific region on a range of Digital Intelligence and OSINT projects.
With over 20 years of experience in Business, Consulting, and Executive Leadership roles spanning B2B, B2G, and B2C organizations, Ariel focuses on promoting advanced OSINT solutions for operational domains including Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorism, Immigration, Narcotics, Crisis Management, Border Control, and Fraud Detection.
Before joining Penlink, Ariel led the Voice Biometrics and Authentication (RTA) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) business units at NICE Ltd in Asia. In his RPA role, he worked extensively on AI-powered automation initiatives with numerous international corporations. This experience underscored for him that achieving exponential improvement in results-driven organizations requires a strong Automation and AI ecosystem that enhances both accuracy and response times. RPA itself can be seen as the earlier iteration of what is now called Agentic AI, marking the shift from rule-based automation to systems capable of autonomous, goal-directed reasoning and complex decision-making.
