Meet Our Leaders
Our leadership is not only a team of experienced specialists in diverse areas, but it is also a pilar of Effortel’s values of diligence, innovation, and fostering a positive work environment.
Meet Our Founder and CEO
After receiving a PhD degree in High Energy Physics, Arkadi went on to work as IT Project Manager and Business Analyst, Business Development Manager, and Marketing Manager in the IT, transportation, and telco sectors. With such diverse experience and knowhow, he courageously decided to pursue his entrepreneurial vision and started a company. He founded Effortel in 2005 in an era dominated by traditional MNOs. Today, by virtue of his visionary leadership and competence, Effortel is a one of the leading MVNO and MVNE companies, with clients all over the globe.
What makes the service provider space so dynamic are constant innovations on the technology and marketing front, which enable us to help telecom and retail players come together, expand their customer base, and realize the full potential of their brands. For us at Effortel, staying at the top of the service provider game is equal parts challenging and exciting.
