In 2014, Ravit Gutman and Dor Bocian embarked on a transformative journey, taking on a project to help a global healthcare organization execute a multimillion-dollar savings initiative. Through their work, they recognized a much greater opportunity: the digital transformation of the finance ecosystem. What started as a way to drive cost efficiencies quickly became a vision for long-term, strategic improvement, one that could elevate organizations to new heights. That vision led to the founding of Extropy. Under their leadership, Extropy entered the emerging world of cloud-native digital finance solutions, focusing first on high-impact savings opportunities in telecom and technology. Over time, the company expanded into Source-to-Pay transformation, helping enterprises modernize corporate spend from sourcing to payment and analytics.
Over the years, Extropy navigated the ever-evolving digital finance landscape, identifying best-in-class solutions and guiding organizations through complex transformation journeys. Thanks to dedication, expertise, and leadership, Extropy became a trusted partner for companies seeking to optimize their financial operations.
In 2024, Extropy entered its next chapter as a woman-owned company, with Ravit being named CEO. While the company has grown, our mission remains the same: to empower organizations with smarter, more efficient digital finance solutions. We continue to build on the foundation that Ravit and Dor laid together, combining innovation with the same passion and commitment that started it all.
