DataArt Holiday Party Welcomes Friends and Clients

DataArt brought a glimpse of Russia to New York once again by hosting a splendid holiday party, featuring an abundance of black & and red caviar, much laughter and beautiful views – of Manhattan skyline outside and Russian models inside.

The holiday cheer was shared by everyone, as DataArt NY team welcomed friends and partners, and introduced clients to members of the press. Peter Shankman of AirTroductions was happy to share the story of founding the networking portal with Ellen Pearlman, Editor-in-Chief of CIO Insight magazine. Orest Kyzyk of JNK Securities stole the show with superbly funny stories from his business career, and shared many laughs with an old friend - Karl Malchow of Telekurs Financial, who attended with the company's CEO Barry Raskin.

Michael Zaitsev welcomed Jonathan Zhukovsky and Ronald Resnick from Highbridge Capital, and made a special effort to entertain Ron Bienvenu, CEO of Halo Technology Holdings, and his spouse Elvira Bienvenu. Alexei Miller had a series of discussions with guests from Paladyne Systems and BNP Paribas, while Eugene Goland was catching up with Kevin Colangelo of Kramer Levin: both gentlemen were speakers at the recent Outsourcing Panel at the Yale Club. Vica Vinogradova welcomed old friends of DataArt: Judith Arteche-Carr of Unisys, Oliver Houck of the Outsourcing Institute, Heidi Brown of Forbes and Alain Sherter of The Deal.
