It would not be hard to imagine, at this point, that President Toomas Ilves of Estonia has a soft spot in his heart for ZeroTurnaround.

For the second time in 6 months, we’ve been privileged to receive the Estonian President in ZeroTurnaround offices. This time, he visited our Boston office. Back in November, shortly before we were recognized as the #1 company in Estonia to watch in 2012, President Ilves visited ZeroTurnaround’s headquarters in Tartu, Estonia.

Find President Ilves...(hint: look for the bowtie)

President Ilves is keenly interested in a hands-on approach towards the proliferation of Estonian-headquartered companies around the world, some of which are located in Boston and other cities in the USA. And for good reason: he is a key driver of e-Estonia, the term coined to describe Estonia’s “incredible success story that grew out of a partnership between a forward-thinking government, a pro-active ICT sector and a switched-on, tech-savvy population.”

While not a developer himself, he likes to simply gaze at code when not writing nine-thousand emails a day. Back when he had free time, Oliver liked books, films, dogs, large steaks, staring at large world maps and strolling through the deeply-forested parks of the Czech Republic, where he lives.
