Jury of the award

Denis graduated from “Baumanka” (the Moscow State Technical University) with a degree on Informatics and Management Systems, but by some quirk of fate he manifested himself in a publishing business. The first serious achievement was the post of an art-director of Men`s Health magazine. However Denis didn’t want to rest on his laurels. He moves to Hubert Burda Media, where he becomes a publisher and subsequently an Editor-in-Chief of Russian version of Italian magazine Quattroruote.

Combining the release of automotive glossy magazine Denis assumes charge of the one and only Russian weekly automotive magazine Avtomir. In 2012 he launches a multi-platform project Avtomir.Test-drive: aside from the printed version it includes the application for smart phones and tablets.

Out of duty Denis speaks fluent German. If he is bored with German he starts to speak English.
