Sift Names Former Cisco Executive Raviv Levi as Chief

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sift, the leader in Digital Trust & Safety, today announced it has hired Raviv Levi as Chief Product Officer. Levi was most recently at Cisco, where he served as Vice President, Security Strategy and Innovation.
