- More than any other company, Viber has profited from the engineering know-how that Belarus offers. It's a success story full of ironies: - The Israeli startup operates in a country whose Jewish population is less than 1 percent; - its app grants consumers the ability to communicate freely but is based in a place where it is often challenging to freely communicate.

- Что ждет белорусскую ИТ-индустрию через 15 лет? «Если все будет хорошо, то лет через 15 мы сможем стать третьей в мире ИТ-державой, после США и Израиля. У нас классные инженерные мозги. У нас не уничтожена эта отрасль, и не надо жалеть, что заводы остались. Благодаря этим заводам остались инженеры, и их надо использовать. Ведь у нас не только программирование, у нас и электронные микросхемы проектируют. Я считаю, что только за счет инженеров мы поднимемся. Ни с какими товарами Китай мы не победим – это смешно». Юрий Зиссер ____________________________ What awaits the IT industry in 15 years? "If all goes well, in 15 years we will become the third IT power in the world, after the United States and Israel. We've got amazing engineering talent because we haven't destroyed the engineering field, as many "progressive" countries did. So it's actually a good thing that we kept our factories going. Thanks to those factories we have the engineers, and we can capitalize on them big time. Because we don't just have programmers in Belarus, we also make things like microchips. So I think that Belarus will rise because of its engineers. To think that we will ever beat China with the goods we produce is silly."

- Jan 2011 - Jun 2012Product marketer / Link-Assistant.Com
My first stint in tech and certainly the most exciting and mentally stimulating job I've had. (Though no job beats the excitement of running your own business.)
Amazing team, nice product (SEO PowerSuite), great company (rated as "best small IT company" in Belarus) and lots of room for creative experimentation that I absolutely need to thrive in a workplace.
I was heavily involved in product marketing, social media, community management and content marketing for the company.
- Jan 2011 - Jun 2012Product marketer / BelPrime Solutions
BelPrime Solutions is essentially the same thing as Link-Assistant.Com
- 2010 - 2010Academic advisor / National American University
Before getting involved in technology, I spent 4 years in academia. At this particular career school I was working with adult college students trying all possible and impossible to keep them in school, out of trouble and also out of debt.
- 2006 - 2009Program manager / International Student Exchange
This was my first "real" job. I even dropped out of college for this, renouncing my full scholarship that paid for it. Starting out as a college intern, I was soon running a cultural exchange program bringing in college students and graduates from overseas for occupational training in the United States ... all the while juggling 12-15-credit course loads at a local private college on Long Island where I ended up earning my Business degrees.
Education-
2007 - 2009Dowling CollegeMBA, BBA (Summa Cum Laude) in Business Management and Leadership
-
2006 - 2006Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität GreifswaldProject U-rope
-
2006 - 2006Lehigh UniversityGlobal Village for Future Leaders of Business and Industry
-
2004 - 2006LCC International UniversityBusiness Administration
Additional Information-
Honors:2002-2003, Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX). My first trip to the United States, where the U.S. State Department sent me off to study as a high school junior in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was 15 years old at the time. 2007, Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholar. Sounds more important than it is but the money helped me pay college bills - and that's all that mattered at the time - to pay through business school in New York without loans. Not sure my degrees were really worth that much but hey, I did it!
-
Interests:Exploring new and emerging technologies, reading world literature (love Nabokov), studying Russian and Soviet history to better understand where I come from and learn the things they didn't tell me in school, mountain biking and commute biking (I'll take a bike over a car any day), trail running, running with my dog and running in general, delving into foreign languages and cultures, motorcycle touring, traveling - as in actually moving to another country and figuring things out.
