Haïm DIMER

It started in Paris, at Epita, one of France's most demanding computer science schools. This was the mid-1990s, the early days of the World Wide Web, and Haïm was immersed in Linux and the open source movement that would later reshape the entire software industry. After a few years, he moved to the United States and began teaching Linux and open source technologies at American Intercontinental University in South Florida, before joining Telefónica and then Akamai, where he implemented DDoS protection systems spanning servers across three continents.

The entrepreneurial pull came early. In 2003 he founded Green Backup, a data recovery company. After managing an internet service provider in Portland, Oregon, he returned to France for what would become an important chapter of his career: nearly a decade at Ramsay Medical Centers, the largest conglomerate of health centers in the country. As CTO and later CEO, he led the complete digital transformation of the organization, eliminating all paper medical files across dozens of facilities and designing infrastructure that served 2.3 million patient yearly.

In 2020, he founded Vudexis, a telemedicine startup focused on ophthalmology in medically underserved areas. It was profitable within its first fiscal year. That same instinct for building from zero carries through to Lifetria, his current software agency, which helps organizations adopt AI tools to ship faster and depend less on bloated enterprise software.

Alongside the technology career, Haïm has pursued documentary photography in some of the world's most difficult environments. In 2016, he joined MOAS aboard a rescue vessel outside Libyan waters, documenting the rescue of over 500 refugees crossing the Mediterranean. In 2022, a few weeks after the war started, he traveled to western Ukraine and Poland to photograph the refugee crisis. In 2023, he was in Israel collecting witness reports in the aftermath of October 7th. The camera serves a different purpose than the keyboard, but both are rooted in the same impulse: to see clearly and to tell the truth about what's there.
