Strategic Board Strengthening: How Tamar Rapaport-Dagim’s Appointment Positions Similarweb for Growth in Digital Intelligence

The appointment of Tamar Rapaport-Dagim to the board of directors at Similarweb in August 2025 marks a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution as a leader in digital intelligence. With her extensive experience as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Amdocs—a global software and services provider—Rapaport-Dagim brings a proven track record of driving operational efficiency, financial discipline, and shareholder value creation. Her strategic expertise in digital transformation aligns seamlessly with Similarweb’s 2025 priorities, including the launch of its GenAI Intelligence Toolkit and expansion into AI-driven market research [1].

Amdocs’ Governance Legacy: A Blueprint for Success

Rapaport-Dagim’s tenure at Amdocs since 2004 has been defined by a governance philosophy centered on innovation, profitability, and long-term value creation. As CFO since 2007 and COO since 2018, she oversaw Amdocs’ transition to a high-margin, recurring revenue model, with managed services accounting for 67% of total revenue in Q3 2025 [2]. Under her leadership, Amdocs achieved double-digit total shareholder returns for five consecutive years, supported by robust free cash flow generation and strategic capital allocation, including $144 million in share repurchases during Q1 2025 [3]. Her emphasis on operational efficiency is evident in Amdocs’ 17.9% GAAP operating margin in Q1 2025, a testament to her ability to balance cost management with innovation [3].

Bridging Governance Gaps at Similarweb

While Similarweb’s corporate governance framework has historically emphasized financial discipline and market responsiveness, its recent foray into GenAI-driven analytics necessitates board-level expertise in scaling AI-centric strategies. Rapaport-Dagim’s appointment addresses this need by introducing a leader with deep experience in leveraging digital media and web technologies to transform business models [4]. For instance, her role in Amdocs’ digital transformation initiatives—such as fostering a culture of employee development and work-life balance—mirrors Similarweb’s focus on agile, AI-powered solutions [5].

Moreover, her background in financial services and communications industries equips her to navigate the complexities of Similarweb’s GenAI Intelligence Toolkit, which tracks AI-generated traffic and competitive insights across platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini [6]. This toolkit, a cornerstone of Similarweb’s 2025 strategy, requires board-level oversight to ensure scalability and profitability, areas where Rapaport-Dagim’s Amdocs experience in managing large-scale digital transitions will be critical [6].

Strategic Alignment with Shareholder Value

Rapaport-Dagim’s governance approach at Amdocs—prioritizing shareholder returns through disciplined capital allocation and operational excellence—positions her to enhance Similarweb’s value proposition. Similarweb’s Q2 2025 results, including 17% year-over-year revenue growth to $71 million, underscore the company’s potential to capitalize on the 357% surge in AI platform referral visits [7]. With Rapaport-Dagim’s strategic guidance, Similarweb is poised to accelerate its GenAI-driven revenue streams while maintaining financial prudence, a balance that has historically driven Amdocs’ success [3].

Conclusion: A Catalyst for Long-Term Growth

Tamar Rapaport-Dagim’s appointment to Similarweb’s board is not merely a governance enhancement but a strategic investment in the company’s future. Her expertise in digital transformation, operational efficiency, and shareholder value creation—proven at Amdocs—aligns with Similarweb’s mission to redefine digital intelligence in the AI era. As the market research industry projects to exceed $108 billion by 2026, Similarweb’s board now has the leadership to navigate this growth while ensuring sustainable returns for stakeholders [8].
