MCE Introduces AI entrepreneur Alon Gilady as New Chief Operations Officer
TEL AVIV, Israel, August 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MCE Systems today announced the appointment of Alon Gilady as Chief Operations Officer (COO). Gilady, a seasoned AI and retail-tech entrepreneur, joins the executive team to help accelerate MCE's innovation roadmap and drive growth across global markets.
"I really see a huge opportunity here in the telecoms space for mobile operators to apply AI purposefully in customer-facing applications and get the kind of business-led results they've been looking for," said Gilady. "MCE's mission to improve the customer mobile device experience with AI really resonated with me and I believe their AI-led approach will help advance the industry to where it wants to go."
MCE's dDLM platform helps mobile operators better manage the customer's device-related experience over the period a customer owns their device (lifecycle) – from onboarding to in-life use to the moment they upgrade their device. The company leverages AI technology for several features within the platform's framework and during the lifecycle, highlighted by two notable solutions:
1. Agentic AI for personalization: MCE's Agentic AI solution for app chatbots empowers mobile operators to personalize digital customer interactions and create more valuable customer experiences that convert into better business outcomes. (See TELUS example)
2. Computer vision for app-focused service: MCE's cosmetic grading solution allows customers to remotely assess their device's objective value and execute trade-ins or purchase insurance outside of the initial 30 days without the need to visit a store. (See Vodafone example)
Building on his past success, Alon will help drive the growth of MCE's existing AI-based product portfolio and the company's value proposition from the lens of innovation and expansion to new markets.
Prior to joining MCE, Gilady was the co-founder and CEO of Renovai, an AI startup that developed an Agentic AI stylist for lifestyle ecommerce brands and retailers. Under his leadership, the company created a breakthrough platform for product recommendation, room- and outfit-styling – integrating a combination of computer vision, interior design logic and a recommendation engine. Renovai's solution supported major brands like Kmart, Temple & Webster and John Lewis to deliver personalized visual shopping experiences that boosted engagement and sales metrics. Gilady also helped secure multiple funding rounds, expand into international markets and form high-impact strategic partnerships.
"Alon brings a unique combination of startup spirit, AI product go-to-market expertise and a strong grasp of operational excellence," said Yuval Blumental, CEO of MCE Systems. "His experience scaling product-driven companies will be instrumental as we continue to grow our AI and device-related product portfolio and deliver next-generation solutions to the mobile device space worldwide."

DeepSeek Postpones New AI Model After Huawei Chip Hurdles
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has hit the brakes on its next big release. The company was gearing up to debut its new large language model, R2, but ran into trouble training it on Huawei chips, the Financial Times reported. It's the latest setback tied to U.S. export controls that keep Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) most powerful GPUs out of Chinese hands a gap that's proving hard to fill. Sources told The Information in June that the lack of top-tier Nvidia hardware was already weighing on R2's progress, and CEO Liang Wenfeng isn't happy with its current performance. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. For now, there's no release date. DeepSeek's most recent upgrade, R1-0528, is still making waves, with the company claiming it performs close to OpenAI's o3 and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro. But the longer R2 lingers in development, the more pressure mounts in the high-stakes race to push AI models to the cutting edge. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Nvidia's Next Challenger? Intel-Backed Rivos Eyes $500 Million to Take On AI Inference Market
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) might have a new headache on the horizon. AI chip startup Rivos, backed by Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) CEO Lip-Bu Tan is chasing up to $500 million in fresh funding, according to The Information. If the round lands, it would bring Rivos' total haul since launching in 2021 to nearly $900 million and value the company at over $2 billion. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The Santa Clara-based upstart hasn't shipped a mass-market chip yet, but it's aiming for 2026 to make its commercial debut. The goal? To muscle in on Nvidia's turf by building GPUs designed for AI inference, the kind of work that runs already trained modelsand is expected to account for as much as 60% to 70% of AI workloads by 2030. Rivos has already sent a prototype off to TSMC for trial production. Its pitch centers on high-performance, power-efficient, secure server solutions built on RISC-V architecture. For Nvidia, which dominates the inference market, it's another reminder that competition in the AI chip space is heating up fast. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
