Hindawi was born and raised in Berkeley, California, [2] [3] and attended the University of California, Berkeley. He is the son of billionaire David Hindawi, an Iraqi Jewish immigrant from Israel. [3]

In 2007, along with his father, he founded the cybersecurity firm, Tanium. [2] In September 2015, they raised $120 million in new funding that valued Tanium at $10 billion.
