Los Angeles is home to many talented and successful people. It’s not just actors, singers and media figures but also numerous business people, startup mentors and entrepreneurs of the metropolis who work, pay taxes and create new job opportunities. Today, we will speak about a businessman born in Ukraine who lived in Los Angeles for decades. The following is about Zhenya Rozinskiy. Check out his success story on the pages of losangeles1.one, with a link to ain.ua.
He didn’t come from Ukraine but rather from the Soviet Union
The future American businessman was born in Odesa, Ukraine. Zhenya graduated from a pedagogical institute specializing in mathematics and computer science. In 1991, Zhenya’s family decided to emigrate to the United States. In those days, millions of Ukrainians were leaving their homes in search of a better fate across the ocean. However, at that time, they were still living not in independent Ukraine but in the Soviet Union.
Rozinskiy and his family moved to the state of California. There, Zhenya attended college and worked at the same time. According to the Ukrainian, he started working as a security guard at a well known television station in the country. By chance, he stumbled upon his first job in IT and subsequently got to work for Autodesk.
Career development
His career in IT began to gradually develop. Zhenya has been working on self-improvement, so his position has changed accordingly. He started as a manager and worked his way up to VP. He really enjoys working with startups since they always strive forward.
At first, Zhenya was changing jobs every six months to a year. In this way, he learned new skills, constantly evolved and tried to earn more money. At one point, Rozinskiy realized that not many startups could gain much success, as many projects shut down rather quickly. Thus, Zhenya decided to invest in a few startups. By the way, among his projects, there were two Ukrainian ones, Rallyware and Ecoisme. Interestingly, Rallyware is based in the United States, but a considerable part of its business centers are situated in Ukraine. Furthermore, all its founders are originally from Ukraine but have been living in the United States for many years.
About his life in Los Angeles
The businessman has lived not only in Los Angeles but also in San Francisco, so he has enough to compare it to. One of the main advantages of Los Angeles is its consistently sunny weather. Even in winter, when temperatures drop, a long-sleeved shirt is all you need to stay comfortable. He also likes the metropolis for its beautiful azure coasts, warm ocean, and breathtaking views. What Zhenya doesn’t like about Los Angeles is the never-ending traffic jams and the people who are overly concerned about what others think of them. Well, you know, some may not be wealthy, but they are still doing their best to flaunt their “ponts”. It’s all about the image here. That’s why the metropolis has such an enormous number of expensive cars that drive like snails because of the endless traffic jams.
As for the country, the United States of America has certainly changed since 1991. When Zhenya came here with his parents, they had a hundred dollars in their pockets each. Back then, they just were not allowed to take more with them. They didn’t move to a new country to find themselves. Their family was on a one-way trip. They realized there was no turning back and had nowhere to return to. That is why they adapted quickly and felt that America was their country. Today’s immigrants have more flexibility. They can try themselves in the United States and if it doesn’t work out, they can return home or try another country.
Well, that was the story of a businessman from Ukraine who became an American a long time ago. Having lived in the United States of America for decades, he figured out how to start a business of his own and become a successful startup mentor.
