CEO For Russian Wireless Entertainment Startup Playfon

Playfon says they are looking for an experienced CEO who has IPO experience. The company's current CEO and owner, Muslim Shortanov, is apparently vacating the position. Playfon ranks as one of the top 100 Russian IT companies. Playfon is the leading international provider of wireless entertainment. Playfon operates in UK, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and the Baltic States.
According to CNews in 2006 Playfon’s revenue totaled more than $14M. Comparing to the financial year 2005 revenue rose for 11%. The company employs over 150 people working in Sweden, Russia and Ukraine.
