Name: Ran Rabinowitch

Pronoun: He/Him/His

Team: Finance

Role: Head of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)

1. Why did you choose Wyze (Why Wyze)?

Wyze offered me the opportunity to work closely with an impressive and innovative leadership team in a role that allows for personal growth and at a competitive pay. When I asked people close to me, I was surprised by how many people owned and liked Wyze products given how young the company is. I immediately knew that I must take this opportunity

2. What team are you on and what do they do?

I am the head of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), part of the Wyze Finance team. Our FP&A team is a core part of Wyze, and we are focused on leading business growth and profitability as well as helping tell the Wyze story to investors. We work side-by-side with senior leaders, as part of a fast-paced environment, to develop and execute business strategy and manage performance.

3. How long have you been with Wyze and what do you do here?

I’ve been with Wyze for 10 months, and I am the head of FP&A. I support our Wyze leaders with analyses for decision-making in operational, financial, and strategic decisions as well as in charge of financial forecasting and investor relations.

4. What’s your favorite thing about working at Wyze?

I love learning from smart, diverse, and driven individuals here at Wyze as we are building processes, tools, and capabilities for the company. I get excited by complex problem solving in collaboration with business partners.

5. How have Wyze product(s) impacted your life?

My family and I are big fans of the Wyze Lock. My 3-and-4-year-old daughters enjoy the independence of unlocking the main door themselves using the keypad. And like everything Wyze, Too-Good-To-Be-True product with incredible features at an affordable price.

Wyze is growing! The FP&A Team is looking for two Sr. Managers and one Manager to join our team. You’d be working with us to drive growth and profitability. Check out our opportunities here: Wyze Careers.

Welcome Ran,

10 months, cannot call you new anymore. I am impressed with Wyze Products and Pricing. Sounds like your position is one in which Wyze depends on to ensure future growth and stability of the company, no pressure. :slight_smile:

Congratulations on the spotlight,

Ah ha! The head finance guy we’ve heard so much about! :slight_smile:
:money_with_wings: :moneybag: :dollar:

I mostly want to say:

Thank you for helping Wyze survive through the struggles of the last year when things got tight during the pandemic and shortages (ie: global chip shortage), and finding ways to make things work and succeed. I am very grateful.

Also, I am guessing you contributed toward getting Wyze to the point where they no longer have to do pre-orders and have enough stability to do the new process of selling everything when it is in-stock and ready and no longer needs to be “backed” in advance. Wyze is growing and innovating, and I am sure you help a lot with finding ways to make their vision possible. Thank you.

Congrats on the spotlight, and please continue to do what you do to not only keep our beloved company alive, but able to continue growing and expanding! We love that Wyze is disrupting lots of industries and able to do everything without charging excessive profit margins like other companies. We like being able to believe Wyze will keep prices fair, so thanks!
