Igor Zakhlebin is a founder and technologist based in The Hague with nine years of experience blending quantitative research and applied technology. He launched huurrek.com to deliver sustainable, cost-conscious cloud services in the Netherlands, translating academic rigor into practical infrastructure offerings. His background includes PhD-level research at Northwestern University and multiple quantitative roles at 3Red Partners, where he focused on data-driven problem solving and model development. Igor has a strong foundation in business informatics from the Higher School of Economics and a track record of moving between research labs and industry, which helps him bridge theory and product. Not obviously, his career shows a pattern of short, focused stints—internships, research assistantships, and a non-compete period—that reflect both deep specialization and rapid iteration on ideas. He combines academic discipline with entrepreneurial drive to build pragmatic, sustainable cloud solutions.
