Vladislav Martinov graduated from Moscow Cooperative University in 1991, with an M.S. in Economics. He started his professional career at Arthur Andersen LLP as a manager in the management consulting department. In 1997 he founded Columbus IT, with departments in Russia and several CIS countries. Within four years the Eastern European division, under his direct leadership, became one of the company's largest, most profitable subsidiaries.

In 2002, Vlad was named Executive Director at Microsoft Business Solutions (Navision) and managed the development and launch of Microsoft Business Solution products in the Russian market. His department was named Department of the Year in 2003 and he received an Eagle Award in recognition of his outstanding leadership. A promotion to senior director at Microsoft Headquarters soon followed, where he led a department of independent software developers. Vladislav returned to Columbus IT in 2005 as its CEO.

Since March of 2007, Axxon has been fortunate to have Vladislav as co-owner and head of the Board of Directors. His leading-edge management strategies have contributed considerably to Axxon's development and the quality of our products and services. Currently, he is in charge of strategic marketing and international expansion.

Murat Altuev graduated from the Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology in 1996 with an M.S. in Computer Science. He began his career as a digital video surveillance programmer, the fastest growing and most innovative area of security technology development at that time. In 2003 he assembled the industry's most influential security software experts – leaders who had been around since the birth of the field – and formed Axxon. With such a strong foundation, the company quickly became the industry's leading security software solution developer.

Axxon Enterprise, the universal IP-based security management platform, was born under Murat's direction and quickly grew to become Axxon's key offering. His leadership also saw the development of other advanced technologies, such as FrameMerge, MomentQuest, and Motion Wavelet. His commitment to innovation keeps Axxon employees inspired and challenged, and he credits them with the company's success.

Currently, Murat is focused on directing Axxon's technological development research and strategy, and business development within Russia.
