Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikolai Kozhekhov is an engineering manager with a decade of IT experience across manufacturing, supply chain and consumer-facing FMCG tech, currently leading engineering at Booking.com from Amsterdam. He progressed from hands-on software development (.NET, C#, SQL, Delphi) to managing multi-disciplinary teams and 24/7 critical service landscapes for Philip Morris, combining operational rigor with product-oriented delivery. Nikolai has led large implementations—manufacturing execution systems and pan‑Russia digitalization projects—bridging IT functions, global products and business stakeholders. He hires and develops teams (from small squads to 25+ engineers) into domain experts while retaining strong technical fluency and a taste for practical architecture. Motivated by building “consumer at the core” products, he blends process discipline with a genuine passion for technology and people development. Off duty he keeps things light—his GitHub bio, “Shut up and dance!”, hints at a pragmatic, energetic leadership style.
