It all began with our company's CEO, Farid Shukurov.
As a UX/UI designer with over 10 years’ experience, he often found the monotonous iteration process with simultaneous clients inconvenient - and often frustrating. Endless screenshots and screen recordings would be exchanged in an attempt for clear communication. However, this method was both time-costly and required knowledge in image or video editing. And despite the visual aid, messages were often still misunderstood and required further clarification.
Existing tools didn't quite cut it, so Farid gathered an experienced team of people who each shared this pain in their individual jobs. They decided to create that tool themselves.
And, thus, "Beep" was born.
Enabling people
to effortlessly
improve the web,
one beep at a time.
Farid Shukurov
The key visionary, strategist and decision-maker in charge of the overall management of the company and its front-end development. Farid not only possesses extensive experience in starting multiple businesses to profit, but also brings his over 8 years of experience in UX & UI into every product he develops.
FUN FACT
While working as a waiter in Germany, he got bored and started building a robot. His love for building got him to start learning coding. And then at age 19, he built a food-tech application. You can say that building things is part of Farid's DNA.
CEO
Roberto Perez
The brains, discerning eyes and voice behind the company's sales & marketing initiatives. Roberto adds more impact using his management & consumer behavior tactics gained while having previously worked for companies such as the Ritz-Carlton & Kantar.
FUN FACT
In 2020, he wagered he could make a relatively unknown term trend online using only a Youtube channel. In just one year, aside from amassing 11,000+ subscribers, the term successfully became one of the most discussed topics on the web.
CMO
Abbas Mirzayev
The fundamental pillar building the framework that keeps Beep operational, Abbas is an experienced developer with previous startup experience. He ensures the integrity of the company's technological ecosystem and leads its back-end development.
FUN FACT
In 2019, having founded and managed a company in China, he brings a broader business acumen to the table alongside his tech & software development speciality. This helps him build great products strategically for a commercial purpose.
CTO
Maryna Filatenko
The magic in charge of crafting the "look & feel" of Beep to ensure the tool stands out in both design & useability. Maryna's design skills, business acumen and user research talent have helped her launch numerous successful products before deciding to join Beep.
FUN FACT
Design that beautifully stands out, yet is also functional is a philosophy that even influences the great effort and attention to detail with which she puts together her many unique outfits. You'll rarely see her wear the same overall outfit twice.
