"Dmitri's exceptional track record in leading the most important products with some of the most successful and loved web applications ever built is going to drive unbelievable and fantastic innovation at SuccessFactors," said Lars Dalgaard, chief executive officer for SuccessFactors. "With consumer and enterprise Web experience, from Yahoo to Intuit, over to small business products, Web 2.0 and 3.0, cloud expertise, he's a perfect fit for the company."
"My favorite thing about Dmitri is that he has the kind of passion and grit that is critical to executing and his life experience demonstrates it loud and clear," Dalgaard continued. "He defected from Russia as a young adult and put himself through Harvard Business School, although humility derived through his family would have no tolerance for throwing his degree in your face. The list is short of people who played club level soccer in Russia, graduated with a masters in computer science, and got themselves through HBS. This is exactly the type of drive that we are looking for in our leaders."
Dmitri joins SuccessFactors from Yahoo, where he was recently vice president of Business and Marketplace Operations, and Sponsored Search. Previously, Dmitri held vice president of product positions for Yahoo's Advertiser and Publisher group and Small Business Services. Before joining Yahoo in 2005, Dmitri spent five years at Intuit where he led the product management team for small-business accounting software, QuickBooks.
