MSK-IX announces appointment of new director general
Yevgeny Morozov has been appointed Director General of MSK-IX starting on April 1, 2022, by decision of the company’s Board of Directors. For the past six years, he has worked as MSK-IX’s Commercial Director, leading sales, marketing communications and product development. Previously, Yevgeny worked for VympelCom.
Yelena Voronina headed MSK-IX since its establishment in 2001 as an operator of an Internet eXchange hub. She will continue her work as an advisor to the Director General.
“Yevgeny Morozov is well-known to MSK-IX’s clients and partners. He has the professional experience and knowledge of the telecom industry needed to maintain the company’s leading positions and carry the best team on the market to new goals,” Sergei Bochkaryov, CEO of Rostelecom Data Centers.
“We are grateful to Yelena Voronina for her contribution to the development of the internet industry in Russia for more than 25 years. Under her management, MSK-IX has come a long way, from a research project in the early stages of Runet’s development to a high-tech company, one of the world’s leading Internet eXchanges. I am very happy that Yelena Voronina is staying on board. She will continue to use her knowledge and expertise for further progress,” Alexei Platonov, Director of MSK-IX.
“The decision to change the Director General was made several months ago, but the leadership rotation process takes quite a long time. Yevgeny Morozov has been a member of our team for more than six years. He knows MSK-IX’s corporate culture and the company well from the inside, which makes him a perfect candidate for the position of Director General of MSK-IX,” Yelena Voronina commented.
