Biography
Hindawi was born and raised in Berkeley, California,[2][3] and attended the University of California, Berkeley. He is the son of billionaire David Hindawi, an Iraqi Jewish immigrant from Israel.[3]
In 2007, along with his father, he founded the cybersecurity firm, Tanium.[2] In September 2015, they raised $120 million in new funding that valued Tanium at $10 billion.[2] Tanium uses a novel approach to cybersecurity different from its main competitors Symantec and Intel's McAfee which have a central data center that communicates directly with individual computers (and requiring a massive investment in data centers), Tanium instead uses a linear chain system where each computer on a network talks to the computer adjacent to it, pooling data, and then relaying the information in a chain before sending it back to a single server.[3]
In February 2016, Orion took over as CEO from his father.[2] In 2023, Orion stepped down as CEO and appointed Dan Streetman as a replacement.
Personal life
Hindawi is married and has two children.[2]
