Pervak, Kiev, Ukraine


Pervak - a very nice restaurant in downtown Kiev, with pretty interesting interior decoration. Serving business lunches during weekdays, moderately priced, considering the top location near one of the poshest streets in Kiev. A definitive recommendation.


Sergey Belous - Tivoli Tech Sales Specialist at IBM Ukraine. Belous means "white mustache" and he is originally from Zaporizhia. Before joining IBM, he worked for Baltic Beverages Holding (recently acquired by Carlsberg Group) and IBM partner company S&T Ukraine. Has a two years old child and is perceived as a calm person with high aspirations.


Tatiana Lubimova, managing relationship with Developer and Academic community for IBM Ukraine. Nicknamed "beloved", born and raised in Kiev (Kyiv), travels a lot and used to hate fish. Before coming to IBM she worked for APC and S&T - and in the beginning also as a primary school teacher. Has two young kids, is reading Sigmund Freud and will one day have a private primary school in Kiev. Good for kids.


Alexander Danko, sales person for Tivoli software at IBM Ukraine in Kiev. Grew up in Lake Synevir (Sea Eye) region in Zakarpattia, where he will one day probably return and help develop tourism. Prior to IBM he worked for InfoPlus and Borland. A little weaker on English, but that much stronger on experience. He is reading Taras Shevchenko - a very important Ukrainian poet, artist and humanist with the same name as today most internationally known Ukrainian: Andriy Shevchenko, the footballer. The old and the new.


The bra lady. Has wide selection of them holders, basking in the sun on one of the many market-busy streets of Kiev. Where is the changing room?
