Alexei Kudriashov, MD - Founder, President and CEO

Alexei Kudriashov has more than 20 years of international experience in technology business development, marketing and sales, and has gained an international reputation for establishing close, long-term relationships with the executive teams of his clients and partners. At SperaSoft, Dr. Kudriashov is responsible for driving the company's growth and market strategies, strategic business partnerships and management of rapidly growing, highly collaborative offshore development teams.

Prior to founding SperaSoft, Inc., Dr. Kudriashov managed various aspects of the Software Marketing Group at Sun Microsystems, where he directed business and channel strategy and management. His team drove adoption and deployment of Sun's business productivity suite worldwide. He also held key positions while growing the productivity suite line of business from zero into a multi million dollar revenue stream.

Earlier, Dr. Kudriashov was a Director of Business Development, European Division at Valtex International Corp., specializing in new business development, strategic marketing, and contract negotiation. He also founded Martak International, Inc., which distributed medical and other high-tech equipment overseas, drawing on his unusual qualifications as a medical doctor and eye surgeon. At Martak, he fine-tuned his skill at managing international groups of geographically separated employees and distributors turning them into close-knit, effective and highly collaborative teams.

Outside SperaSoft, Dr. Kudriashov co-founded and directs the American Business Association of Russian Professionals, or AmBAR (www.ambarclub.org), a nonprofit organization that fosters entrepreneurship among Silicon Valley-based professionals from CIS countries. As director of this group, he was the sole U.S. business association representative invited to speak and to chair a round table during the Russian Outsourcing and Software Summit, held in St. Petersburg in 2004. The RUSSoft summit is a high-profile industry event in the sphere of IT-outsourcing, software development and international cooperation on information technologies in Russia, CIS and Western Europe.

He also co-founded and is active on the executive committee of Silicon Valley Open Doors (www.svod.org), an annual technology investment conference that brings together dozens of high-tech innovators and start-ups from Russia and other former Soviet Union countries with U.S. sources of capital investment.

Dr. Kudriashov received an M.S. in Management and Business from MIT, Sloan School of Management, and his M.D. from Volgograd State Medical University, Russia, where he first became prominent as an expert in advanced high-tech medical devices and equipment.
