Alexander is an expert in high scale analytics systems design and implementation. He designed and deployed petabyte-scale data warehouses, including one of the earliest ClickHouse deployments outside of Yandex.

Aurimas Jacikevicius

Head of Sales

As Head of Sales at Altinity, think of Aurimas as your experienced guide to mastering ClickHouse. He brings over a decade of high-level, multinational-corporation experience to his role. Plus, he has the can-do, pragmatic spirit you’d expect from someone who’s been a General Manager and Board Member at smaller startups. He gets things done. And is a fierce advocate for the interests of our customers.

Stephanie McArthur

Head of Marketing

As Altinity’s Head of Marketing, Stephanie shapes the company’s brand and brings its message to targeted audiences. Having worked with both startups and established market leaders for over 15 years, Stephanie knows the ropes: from strategic marketing planning to campaign execution that drives market awareness and measurable results.

Valery Tkachenko

Head of Administration

Valery is the get-anything-and-everything-done person at Altinity. You may call that “Administration.” We call it “working wonders.” We need extra closet space to account for all the hats she wears: HR, Accounts Payable and Receivable, Budgeting and Financial Management, Procurement, and on and on. She has the spirit and work ethic of an entrepreneur. Which makes sense given that she once owned and managed a small online business. And prior to that she worked for many years in software development.

Peter Zaitsev

Board Member

Peter Zaitsev co-founded Percona and assumed the role of CEO in 2006. As one of the foremost experts on MySQL strategy and optimization, Peter leveraged both his technical vision and entrepreneurial skills to grow Percona from a two-person shop to one of the most respected open source companies in the business. Peter was an early employee at MySQL AB, eventually leading the company’s High-Performance Group. A serial entrepreneur, Peter co-founded his first startup while attending Moscow State University where he majored in Computer Science.

Vadim Tkachenko

Board Member

Vadim Tkachenko is Altinity Principal Advisor, but he is better known as co-founder and CTO of Percona. Vadim leads Percona Engineering Team, which focuses on the development of Percona software products, technology research and performance evaluations of Percona’s and third-party products. Vadim’s research team designs no-gimmick tests of hardware, filesystems, storage engines, and databases that surpass the standard performance and functionality scenario benchmarks. He brings his Percona background and experience to Altinity. Previously, he founded a web development company in his native Ukraine and spent two years in the High-Performance Group within the official MySQL support team.
