Cellebrite is an Israeli mobile forensics and digital intelligence company. It sells tools used by law-enforcement and other agencies to extract and analyse data from mobile devices. Outgoing chief executive Yossi Carmil, in a January 2025 Ctech interview, described a nineteen-year tenure during which the company grew from a bootstrapped startup into a publicly traded multi-billion-dollar business. Carmil was "a lieutenant colonel in the paratroopers, serving under Benny Gantz as his battalion commander" before later working at the Ministry of Defence and in Europe.[1]
Ownership and sales policy
According to the same interview, founders Avi Yablonka, Yaron Baratz and Yuval Aflalo sold their shares to Japan's Sun Corporation for $17.5 million; Carmil remained with the company.[1]
In March 2021 Cellebrite announced that it was stopping sales of its digital intelligence offerings in the Russian Federation and Belarus.[2]
