DataArt Hosts a Splendid Caviar Party for Financial Industry Partners
July 21, 2005DataArt held its traditional caviar party in midtown Manhattan, bringing together the company's friends and clients from selected hedge funds, and financial technology partners.
DataArt parties have become famous for their hospitality and lavish catering, and last Thursday was no exception - executives from leading financial institutions munched on traditional Russian cooking, tried a selection of Russian vodkas and enjoyed stimulating conversations. Many potential deals and new ideas were discussed.
Michael Zaitsev welcomed Bob Goldbaum of FundRunner/SS&C, who was in town from San Francisco with his colleague Craig Friedman. Michael was in great demand, and shared many laughs with Christian Robertson of Global Asset Administration and Paul Kukuruza of Paloma Partners. He then joined Ioannis Pazarzis of Tribeca Global Management to enjoy the view of Central Park with friends Sol Zlotchenko and Alexander Kouperman of AIM. When not discussing high fashion with Leon Frenkel of Tirage Capital Management and Oleg Reznik of Tango Equity, Alexei Miller was busy entertaining Orest Kyzyk and Sam Mathias of JNK Securities.
DataArt was delighted to welcome one of outsourcing's best known names, Michael Corbett, along with Debi Hamill of the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP). Both enjoyed a number of lively conversations with new and old friends alike and were particularly enthusiastic about Eugene Goland's efforts with OOBP.org; expressing interest in future cooperation. Vica Vinogradova was impressed with Jack McGonagle of Iris Financial, who happens to be a major in the US Marine Corps Reserve. It was great to see that our old friends James Martin of Optima Fund, Judy Arteche-Carr of Unisys and Oliver Houck of the Outsourcing Institute also enjoyed themselves, brightly smiling for the photo opportunity.
Caviar parties have become a cherished tradition at DataArt, and we look forward to welcoming you in the future.

July 08, 2005Two DataArt's developers returned from a thrilling trip to Corsica. Peter Malkin and Alexander Marakhovsky are passionate kayakers, as they proved again during a tremendous whitewater rafting experience in the homeland of Napoleon.
Says Peter Malkin: "Imagine brilliantly beaming rays of the sun; the emerald-green water roaring down from 40 feet above and whirling into a snow-white foam, lizards crawling along the pendent rocks - and us, holding our breath as we look down the waterfall, getting ready to jump…"
The island of Corsica stuns you with its ancient cities, flowing mountains, the tranquil sea, and picturesque villages with wineries and museums.. But our DataArt adventurers choose the extremes. In 10 days they managed to paddle five rivers of class 5. There aren't that many people in Russia capable of navigating such rafts.
Corsica's rivers are remarkable for their large drops - with long rock-slides and thin water flowing over; with waterfalls cascading one after another - all several meters high.
The rafters have surmounted a number of obstacles, which might be quite ordinary for professional kayakers, but sound wild for an ordinary person. Jumping waterfalls, passing rapids and rock-slides, they gradually moved to the sea, where the whole team obtained a brilliant chance to sunbathe on the shore and to indulge in the wonders of Corsica's cuisine.
Says Alexander Marakhovskiy: "I'd love to come back to this kayaker's paradise - to travel down the rivers we didn't have time to reach and to "catch the water"! These extreme activities help us clear the thinking and relax the mind. When we get back to work, we are full or energy and new ideas."
"We plan to participate in Adrenaline Race 2005 - a contest bringing together top kayaking teams from Russia, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand."
