Roy Mann is an Israeli software entrepreneur and co-founder, with Eran Zinman, of the Nasdaq-listed work-management software company monday.com, where he is co-chief executive since June 2012.[1][2] He served in Unit 9900, the visual and satellite intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces intelligence directorate.[3][4]
Military service
Ctech reported in 2024 that Mann and Eran Zinman "met in Unit 9900 of the IDF’s Intelligence Corps, where Mann recruited Zinman to a special team he led as a reservist" (Unit 9900; Intelligence Corps).[3] In June 2018 Israel Defense, reporting the launch of a 9900 alumni association, described Mann and Zinman as "graduates of 9900", and described the unit as responsible for "the visual, geographic and satellite world", including intelligence satellites and mapping for military needs.[4] No source found says that he served in Unit 8200.
Career
The company's 2025 annual report says that Mann has been co-chief executive since 1 June 2012 and a director since February 2012. He was previously "a senior technology leader" at Wix.com from 2010 to 2012, and before that co-founded SaveAnAlien.com, where he led technology from 2006 to 2010. He holds a computer-science degree from the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya.[1]
monday.com
monday.com was founded in 2012 as DaPulse and has been listed on Nasdaq since June 2021.[1] Ctech reported that the founders first worked out of the offices of Wix, its first customer, and that Wix's chief executive Avishai Abrahami invested and kept a 1% stake and a board seat; Mann said that "the idea was entirely ours".[3] The annual report lists Mann as holding 4,932,613 shares, 9.6% of the company, the largest holding listed in the report.[1]
Gaza war and reserve duty
In November 2024 Mann told Ctech that "Even during the height of the conflict, when 12% of our Israeli employees were in military reserves, and many others were called to duty in the north, we've managed to maintain our operations".[3] The company's 2025 annual report said that "Some of our employees have been called up for reserve duty" and that "The global perception of Israel and Israeli companies, influenced by actions by international judicial bodies, may lead to increased sanctions".[1]
