Dan Bodner is an Israeli technology executive who led Verint, the analytics and intelligence software company that grew out of Comverse Technology, as president and chief executive from February 1994. He moved to an advisory role in November 2025, after the private equity firm Thoma Bravo completed its acquisition of Verint.[1][2]
Career
According to his SourceSecurity profile, Bodner served in the Israel Defense Forces "in an engineering capacity" from 1981 to 1985. He then worked for two years as director of software development at Contahal and joined Comverse Technology in 1987. From 1991 to 1998 he was president and CEO of Comverse Government Systems, which became part of Verint, and he headed Verint itself from February 1994. He graduated in electrical engineering from the Technion in 1981 and took a master's degree at Tel Aviv University in 1987.[1]
Verint was for many years a subsidiary of Comverse, the company founded by Kobi Alexander.[1] In 2021 Verint's security and intelligence business was spun off as Cognyte, led by Elad Sharon.[3]
When Thoma Bravo completed its purchase, Verint was combined with Thoma Bravo's portfolio company Calabrio. Mike Lipps, an operating partner at Thoma Bravo, became chairman and interim CEO, and Bodner, then chairman and CEO, moved to an advisory role.[2]
