Cato Networks to Unveil Blueprint for Preserving Engineering Agility from Startup to Unicorn at Leaders in Tech 2025 

Cato to share the strategies behind maintaining an engineering culture through hyper-growth 

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 21, 2025 – Cato Networks, the SASE leader, today announced that Rotem Naar Shamir (vice president of engineering at Cato Networks) will present at Leaders in Tech 2025, which is Israel’s premier event for engineering management and technological leadership.  

The session, “The Unicorn Marathon: Zen and the Fine Balance of Product & Engineering” (Monday, May 5 at 14:35 PM IST), will outline the tangible, repeatable processes implemented by Cato from Day 1 that enabled the company to scale from startup to unicorn without compromising speed or innovation.  

Most notably, attendees will learn how to embed a high-velocity engineering mindset early and sustain it as teams grow, products mature, and delivery expectations rise. 

“Scaling from startup to unicorn doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the engineering culture that got you there,” said Rotem Naar Shamir, vice president of engineering at Cato Networks. “At Cato, we’ve proven that with the right mindset and processes—like continuous and short feedback loops, rapid and lean product deliveries, and fail-fast approach—you can scale your engineering team without losing your edge. This talk is about sharing exactly how we’ve done it, so other engineering teams can do the same.”
