Val Bercovici

Founder & CEO at CLICK2NFT

Val is: a visionary Silicon Valley tech exec, who holds the industry's first NFT patent, alongside other Augmented Reality / Metaverse patents. Throughout his career, Val led the development of next-gen platforms (Web1, Web2 & web3) with Microsoft, NetApp, VMware, Yahoo!, Facebook, AWS & Google.

 After serving as CTO of NetApp/SolidFire and a founding member of the CNCF board, kickstarting the wildly popular Kubernetes Open Source project, Val dedicated his career in 2017 to Blockchain technologies, Crypto Currencies, NFTs and DeFi, forecasting the web3 wave will dwarf both Web1 & 2 in value.
