The Team

Iurie Vlasov [jʊri vlasɒf]

Born in the former Soviet Union and raised in a mixed Russian-Romanian family, Iurie left home at 19 to attend University Bocconi in Milan, Italy and there earned his degree in Economics and Management. After university, he pursued a career in marketing and later started his first company in 2006. Although a rather modest person, Iurie likes to boast about his vast knowledge of languages (he speaks six). He is charismatic and extremely personable, but has trouble saying no (which is not an open invitation). A chronic workaholic, Iurie has little time for himself, but does enjoy a few rounds of tennis on Saturday mornings. Clients often find him online at early morning hours (to which they exclaim, “dude, get some sleep!). Though the founder of Vitriol Consult, Iurie hates hierarchy and considers himself equal to his employees in the company. His life moto: “Everything in life happens for a reason, so enjoy it!”

Chris Kruse [krɪs kruz]

Chris is a self-taught web developer, bringing 10 years experience to the company. He currently lives and works in Orlando, Florida where he spends his free time (whatever that is) at the beach. Chris joined Vitriol in September of 2009 and has since invigorated the company with his self-determined and energetic approach to web development. He is a fun and creative personality, who is a valuable asset to the clients he works with. Chris’ philosophy on life is to do what you love and work hard it and he backs his words by doing just that. This kind of positive attitude has earned Chris the distinction of being a full associate with Vitriol.

Nikita Cerempei [nɪkitə tʃɛrɛmpe]

Nikita is … yeah you guessed right … another dashing individual bringing to the firm a long term know-how. Even before graduating from the Moldovan Technical University he started his career as a 3D designer in a local advertising agency to later work with several magazines and fashion publications doing illustration and print design. He is one of those fancy-designer-metro-sexual-dresser with a style of his own. Being 6 feet 6 high is hard to be unnoticed but doesn’t have his head in the clouds. As a hard worker Nikita will always get things done before getting rest and is always ready for new tasks… Besides work you will always find him at the best events and parties in town.
