The Exciting Journey from Scientist to Entrepreneur:
In conversation with Serguei Beloussov

Singapore has attracted many key international IT companies to open their global headquarters making it one of the world’s major technology hubs. Being well-connected to the rest of the world with over 50% of global population and economic activity concentrated within 8-hour flight, Singapore is not only a financial and technology hub in Asia, but a destination of choice when it comes to starting a business. For Serguei Beloussov, Founder and current CEO of data protection, cloud computing and disaster recovery company Acronis, what started as a student’s typical summer job became a life changing experience. A pure scientist, Serguei took a summer job at a PC assembly company, came half across the world to discover Singapore as a centre of IT-technologies and became a Singaporean.
