Rodion Zhitomirsky has joined as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and shared his enthusiasm for this role: “I’ve been a part of HotelPORT since its transition into a full-fledged IT business began back in 2018, initially in a part-time capacity. However, as we observed the company’s growth, it became evident that it required consistent attention at the CTO level, encompassing both technological expertise and technical leadership. Consequently, I made a deliberate decision to join HotelPORT full-time as CTO to provide the necessary impetus. This choice was driven by my belief in HotelPORT’s promising future and my desire to contribute to its success, making my mark on its journey towards greatness.”
HotelPORT’s leadership team also includes:

These dedicated groups will focus on addressing the specific challenges and opportunities within each domain, ensuring tailored and effective solutions for clients.
Fred Bean, HotelPORT’s CEO and Founder, expressed his excitement, stating, “These latest appointments mark a significant milestone in our growth and expansion journey. Our team now boasts 91 talented specialists, spread across 7 countries and 3 continents. This remarkable growth is testament to our commitment to building a diverse, skilled, and globally distributed workforce.”
Fred added, “This expansion enhances our technical capabilities and streamlines our project management and quality assurance processes, ensuring that we continue to deliver cutting-edge solutions in the fast-evolving tech landscape.”
