Holo appoints David Benhaim to Board of Directors
The Markforged co-founder also advises other early-stage deep technology companies leveraging cloud-based software, artificial intelligence, and connected hardware
Holo, a Silicon Valley-based metal additive manufacturing company, has appointed David Benhaim, a successful entrepreneur with high-profile leadership experience in the AM industry, to its Board of Directors.
“We’re very excited to have David join our board as we enter this growth phase for Holo,” said Hal Zarem, CEO of Holo. “He is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in this industry and he’s been through this before.”
In 2013, David Benhaim co-founded Markforged, which was taken public (NYSE: MKFG) in 2021. He also advises early-stage deep technology companies leveraging cloud-based software, artificial intelligence, and connected hardware to disrupt fields like life sciences, and accessible robotics. He has a deep background in software, having graduated from MIT – where he co-founded his first company – with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering.
“Holo has built a technology platform that enables 3D printing of fine-featured metal parts with the precision and surface finish to make them production-worthy as printed. When I saw that, I realized that this company can take digital manufacturing of metal parts to the next level,” said David Benhaim.
Holo 3D prints highly-precise metal parts in prototype and production volumes. To carve its place in the market, the company is prioritizing a strong strategy as a focused vertical supplier built on its scalable manufacturing technology, PureForm, which produces parts with features smaller than 50 microns, holding tight tolerances across a wide variety of sizes. With this precision and injection molded-like surface finish, Holo’s parts generally do not need post-processing – reducing the cost to the end customer.
The expansion of the Holo Board of Directors is a result of the company’s investment in its future and the validation of industry veterans who understand its unique value proposition.
“It speaks highly of the technology and business that we have built that David has chosen to join Holo. We’re looking forward to adding his experienced perspective and industry knowledge as we enter our next stage,” said Hal Zarem.
