Виктор Архипов

General Director, SPC Luch

1989–2006

Yuriy worked a miracle: he brought modern technology to our plant. When he joined the company, there were almost no computers. At the time, I did not know how to use computers myself. He convinced me that we needed to keep up with the times and learn. Under his leadership, a computer network that was modern for its time was created, using both wired connections and Wi-Fi. Computers were installed in the management offices and all production workshops. Software was developed to automate accounting, inventory management, and production processes. Later, his department even began providing services to the public. I appreciated his drive for progress, his willingness to teach, and his determination to achieve results where others would simply have given up.

Раиса Ануфриева

Deputy Minister of Social Development of the Novosibirsk Region

2005 - 2019

I worked closely with Yuriy Tomaev on the development and implementation of the Citizen Social Passport system — TIK Region — in the Novosibirsk Region. Yuriy established effective working relationships across the ministry’s departments and contributed to technical and contractual documentation, as well as materials for public procurement tenders. He worked personally with district offices, helping staff adopt the new system and manage the transition. His involvement helped us complete the implementation in a very short time. Yuriy brings people together around a shared goal, has excellent organisational skills and always keeps his word. I recommend him as a reliable leader who can take complex projects forward and turn commitments into results.

Павел Баканов

Executive Director, Hobby-Express

2017-2018

I have known Yuri since the development of the E-city project. I know him to be a successful manager and organizer. When the need arose, I brought him on board to help bring the first release of our project to its production-ready version. I would like to highlight his accuracy in estimating timelines—the actual timeframes matched his projections exactly. I also want to note his ability to manage communication across the board—engaging effectively with the owner, senior management, business units, external partners, and the development team. Thanks to him, many tasks were completed almost seamlessly and within a very tight timeframe.

Сергей Крыжановский

Deputy Head of the City Administration

2013 - 2015

The "E-City" project has integrated seamlessly into the city's development program and the municipality's incorporation into the region's unified information environment. It is gratifying to note that the development team—under the direct leadership of Yu. Tomaev—consistently operated at the intersection of technology and municipal governance. The project was distinguished by a thorough analysis of both the region's IT infrastructure and local business processes, the ability to formulate sound development plans, and the successful introduction of a unified information environment concept into municipal operations. In this instance, the city administration and the development team understood each other perfectly and worked in close coordination.

Gocha Diasamidze

Founder

From 2014 to the present

Yury is the foundation of our entire project. His vision, his ability to gather various methods, secure funding, and bring people together made it possible to build a major project—starting from virtually nothing, just a conversation. It has grown into something far more than a website; it now encompasses the country’s tourism industry, international partners, volunteers from various nations, and government agencies. It has been truly amazing!

Rusudan Japaridze

Head of the community of guides in Georgia

2014 — present

We first met Yuriy when he was visiting Georgia as a tourist. Later, seeing how he was developing Sweet Georgia, we approached him with the idea of an application that would help guides connect with tourists and with one another. Yuriy proposed the concept and took responsibility for organising the project, turning our needs and ideas into a working product. He led the development, travelled throughout most of Georgia, met with guides, gave presentations and discussed the application with us. I particularly value his attention to our needs and his ability to find sensible compromises. Yuriy knows how to bring people together around an idea and see it through to completion.
