Railsware in Podcasts and Interviews

Seventeen years ago, the name “Railsware” first appeared in a Google search query and since then, our product-centric approach has resonated not only within our colleagues and partners, but also with a diverse tech community. And behind such a successful approach stand our CEO Yaroslav Lazor and Managing Partner Sergiy Korolov.

With years of experimentation, learnings from Silicon Valley’s best, failures and successes, Yaroslav and Sergiy have cultivated what we proudly call the Railswarian culture — a culture defined by constant growth, openness to feedback, doing what makes sense, and a commitment to building damn good products.

Their dedication to innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing has evolved Railsware  into what it is today — a studio recognized by Inc5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies. And our growth continues. Beyond our company walls, Yaroslav and Sergiy actively contribute to the broader community, sharing insights, experiences and lessons learned.

For an insider’s look, check their recent podcasts and articles. These resources not only showcase their expertise but also reveal their style of  leadership—the passion, perseverance, and belief in the power of collaboration and innovation.

Yaroslav Lazor is the CEO and co-founder of Railsware. With three decades in the tech industry, Yaroslav’s strategic thinking have guided Railsware from a nascent tech group to a successful company. He excels in identifying talent, solving complex problems, blending data-driven decisions into various organizational contexts. As an engineer at heart, his approach to leadership is rooted in continuous learning, empathy, and smart automation.
