Longtime co-CEO Yoav Toussia-Cohen has left cloud channel superstar DoiT International who is a top global Google Cloud and AWS partner.

One of the world’s top cloud channel partners DoiT International has lost its longtime co-CEO, who played a critical role in making DoiT a leading global Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services partner.

Yoav Toussia-Cohen took to LinkedIn recently to announce he has left DoiT after 10 years with the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company. “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chief Executive Officer at Self Employed,” he said, referring to the fact that he has yet to join a new company.

DoiT, an award-winning Google Cloud partner, recently signed a $5 billion strategic collaboration agreement with AWS, and made CRN’s prestigious Elite 150 list in 2024 that recognizes the top channel partners with innovative managed services. The solution provider has more than 3,000 customers in over 70 countries and manages $2 billion in customer cloud spending.

There were over 380 comments on Toussia-Cohen’s LinkedIn post as of Tuesday morning including from many top executives from the likes of Microsoft, AWS, Pure Storage, Dell Technologies as well as current DoiT employees.

“How one can summarize a 10-Year journey, of turning a small consulting company in Israel into one of the largest Cloud Partners globally,” said Eran Shlomi, director of sales and strategic accounts for DoiT, on LinkedIn.

“There is no doubt that you and [CEO] Vadim [Solovey] are responsible for one of the biggest success stories turning a small Israeli company into a multi-billion global corporation,” Shlomi said. “You knew how to recruit the finest people, here and abroad, lead them to places beyond their own expectations. Your unique style and leadership were a key to our success and your spirit will always remain within DoiT.”

Toussia-Cohen (pictured above) could not be reached for comment by press time. He has been responding to many comments on LinkedIn thanking people for their kind words.

DoiT’s former co-CEO and CTO Vadim Solovey has taken over now as CEO. He posted on LinkedIn on Monday that he’s now the sole CEO of DoiT International with over 160 comments on his post.
