Unlocking GRC Potential with AI: A Conversation with Yair Kuznitsov, CEO of Anecdotes

After founding the first Formula SAE team in Israel (2011), I spent 6 months in Italy working at Dallara - the world's best race car manufacturer. Returning to Israel (2012), I decided to establish a company that will focus on making Motorsport more accessible and affordable, using new technologies and solutions yet to be implemented in the industry.
