Anton Gololobov

Outsourced IT director. 20+ years in IT — from junior engineer to IT director. Turning operational chaos into a managed system.

Anton Gololobov — IT director

My name is Anton. I\'m an IT specialist and product manager with an entrepreneurial mindset. My superpower is finding and automating business processes, quickly turning ideas into working products.

I help large businesses — with their bureaucratic, worn-out view of problems — see processes as they really are. And small businesses that need to take their first steps and choose a direction.

Business is a system.
