I am extremely excited to announce that Kiel Yu and George Zahariev will be joining us as Product Marketing Analyst and Front-end Software Engineer respectively on April 28th, and yes, that’s tomorrow!

George was born at the dawn of the nineties in a small eastern European country most widely known for coming second in a great sports tournament featuring self-elevating sweeping tools. He soon moved to a small Canadian town housing the violin playing leader of the Galactic Empire. After losing his life savings investing in Pets.com, George went on a personal journey of self-discovery through the mountains of Nepal. There, after years of meditation and intense study, he mastered the ancient art of JavaScript. Along with his work, George enjoys hiking in the great outdoors, taking long walks on the beach, and firing the 84mm Carl Gustav anti-tank weapon.

Kiel is an innovative, dynamic marketer from the UBC Sauder School of Business. He has been blessed to have been exposed to a variety of cultures through traveling and through living in Canada and in the Philippines. Kiel was also the Chair of the 2010 Vancouver International Business Conference, hosting executive speakers from prominent companies, such as Lululemon. In his spare time, Kiel likes cooking, baking, and learning new languages.

SilkStart is very fortunate to have superstars like George and Kiel joining, and if you are interested in joining us, we are still hiring! For more information, please visit http://silkstart.com/career
