With Yuri Bakay, CEO of “Mindcruncher”.

We attended the Eurasia Center’s annual “Doing Business with Russia” event at the Russian Trade Office as well as the nearby Russian Cultural Center. And, in fact, we did some business!

This year’s event featured speeches by such respected specialists as former U.N. and Russian Ambassador Thomas Pickering, former BISNIS Director Trevor Gunn and (speaking above) Tom Thompson management consultant and Atty. Dmitri Dubograev the managing partner of Femida Law. Femida specializes in legally establishing and advising IT firms from the former Soviet Republics in the USA.

Further advice on best business practices and American market entry for software clients comes from Yuri Bakay, CEO of “Mindcruncher”. When software clients request a still more “Americanized” marketing approach to the world’s largest IT market (the USA) Muir Marketing Solutions is brought in by Yuri.

MMS has referred Femida and Mindcruncher to Russian IT companies as well. We do this because all business components of American market entry must be professionally handled for a foreign company to succeed. Together Muir, Femida and Mindcruncher provide Russian speaking companies with peace of mind.

During the conference we also developed a relationship with Russian ad agency, “Pilot” which is located in one of Russia’s largest cities, Nizhniy Novgorod (formerly Gorki). Pilot will assist us to work with Russian clients and we will use their services and advice with any American client seeking entry to the Russian market.
