Vadim Vladimirskiy
Vadim Vladimirskiy is the co-founder and CEO of Nerdio, a Chicago software company that automates and cuts the cost of running Microsoft cloud desktops for thousands of organizations across more than 50 countries. He emigrated from Ukraine at 13, started his first IT consultancy in high school, and spent fifteen years running an MSP before turning his internal tooling into a product. In March 2025 Nerdio raised a $500 million Series C from General Atlantic at a valuation above $1 billion, and the company crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue by mid-2025.
Yeongseon Park
Yeongseon Park is the founder and CEO of ATAD Corp., a Seoul-based company building an AI-powered multi-cloud operating platform called ODiiN and a multi-LLM security gateway called Heiimdahl. ATAD's pitch is blunt: most teams run too many clouds and understand none of them. Park's products promise to operate AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single panel, claim up to 80% cost savings, and wrap it all in decentralized, zero-trust security. The company has raised about $3.36M, closed a Series A, and openly targets a Nasdaq listing by 2027.

He represents a global leader in robotic process automation - a company that raised over $1 billion in funding and generates nearly half a billion dollars in annual revenue - at the country level in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Maxim Melamedov
Maxim Melamedov is the CEO and co-founder of Zesty, a Palo Alto-based cloud infrastructure optimization platform that has raised $124M to help enterprises slash cloud costs through AI-driven autoscaling. Born in the Soviet Union, raised in Israel, and now operating out of Silicon Valley, Melamedov built Zesty from a 2019 insight - that 30-40% of cloud infrastructure sits idle while companies pay full price. With products spanning Kubernetes optimization, compute rightsizing, and commitment management, Zesty now manages billions in cloud waste across 1,000+ accounts for enterprise customers including Wiz, Armis, and WalkMe.
