Nimrod Lehavi

Serial entrepreneur, hacker, maker, geek, crypto head and utterly unfamiliar with the concept of “impossible”

Kicking off his entrepreneurial career in the 90’s as a self taught software developer, Nimrod transformed over the years to an experienced leader. A hacker at his core, Nimrod finds solutions to any new and unique challenge. After 15 years solving technical / business / product challenges for an extensive range of different and complex businesses and industries, Nimrod accidentally stumbled upon the bitcoin white paper, and everything changed.

Nimrod began looking for a safe and simple way to purchase bitcoin on his credit card, but no solution existed. So he decided to build it and in 2013 Simplex was born. As the founder and CEO of Simplex, Nimrod leads hundreds of employees throughout the world. Simplex continues to massively expand and evolve to enable the entire crypto ecosystem in growing to its potential.

Nimrod is one of the industry OGs and is a board member of the Israeli Bitcoin Association, since its inception. Nimrod is a thought-leader and regular speaker at leading industry conferences, as well as an advisor to well-selected industry startups.
