Career pathway

In my second year of university, I worked remotely under contract at NewsKnowledge GmbH, a Swiss company. I was a content editor for its NewsIsFree news syndication service.

I noticed a correlation between how news is distributed and processed and the overall success of companies that know how to handle it. This is how the idea came for my project to distribute corporate news in Eastern Europe and the CIS. In 2005, I founded B2Blogger.com, which I sold in 2014.

In 2015, he founded the online platform PRNEWS.IO to place branded content cost-effectively and predictably. Using the Estonian digital identity program e-Residency, he created PRNEWS OU to scale in foreign markets. As of 2019, he lives in Estonia.

In November 2023, his company won a Go Global Award. It was recognized in the Newswires category for its sustainable growth and impact on international trade. The awards were organized by the International Trade Council and the Rhode Island Board of Trade in Providence, RI.

In 2024, I was one of the minds behind Medialister, a platform for guaranteed media placements.

Hobbies

I am a keen sailing enthusiast and participate in yacht regattas. In December 2023, he sailed a 19-meter yacht through the Drake Passage to Port Lockroy Station on the Antarctic Peninsula.

I'm happily married and raising a daughter.
