Since being named director of information technology in 2004, Dennis Gerasimenko has had a significant impact on Einstein’s IT operations. In an effort to increase efficiency, Mr. Gerasimenko restructured the IT department, hiring approximately 65 percent of its current staff and reorganizing project time allocation to meet deadlines. Mr. Gerasimenko also co-founded Einstein’s technical support department and currently oversees the company’s system administration and internal development teams. He plays a vital role by regularly advising the company’s executives on the latest trends in information technology. Mr. Gerasimenko began his career in information technology as a freelance graphic designer and web developer, which led him to employment opportunities at Internet marketing firm Intrasell and web development company Bytes On-Line. He was subsequently hired by Einstein Industries, where his Linux expertise allowed him to develop the first dynamically driven version of DocShop.com, the company’s core Internet property. Mr. Gerasimenko then created the Einstein Information System (EIS), Einstein’s customer relations and asset management application; IMPACT, one of the first email marketing and mailing list management programs to hit the market; and VAB Mail, Einstein’s successful web mail system. Prior to pursuing a career in information technology, Mr. Gerasimenko earned degrees in architecture from the Kharkov State College of Architecture and the Ukrainian Academy of Art. |
