Hello! I just wanted to let editors know that a photo of Mr. Tatarinov is on Wikimedia Commons here. Would someone be able to update the infobox with this photo? I am working on behalf of Mr. Tatarinov's employer, Citrix Systems, via my position with Beutler Ink. Because of my financial COI, I prefer not to make any changes to the article myself. Thanks!

Updates
Hi. I'm here on behalf of Citrix Systems as part of my work with Beutler Ink to suggest additions to this article. As you might imagine, there's been a lot of recent press about Mr. Tatarinov since he's taken over the CEO position at Citrix. Based on this recent coverage, I've prepared the following additions to the article:

✅**"During his student years, Tatarinov wrote programs for hardware clones on punch cards. "
 * In the Background and education section

✅**"Tatarinov presented a new strategy for the company at Citrix Synergy in May 2016. His plan included focusing on growing core products. Later that year, as part of that strategy, Tatarinov reorganized Citrix and spun off the company's GoTo line of products. "
 * In the Career section

Since I have a financial COI, I won't make the changes myself. I'll simply outline them below and let others review. Let me know if you think these should be added to the article or if you have any feedback. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 19:43, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Update: No longer Citrix CEO
Hello! Continuing on my former colleague Heatherer's work above, I am submitting a request to update this article on behalf of Citrix Systems as part of my work with Beutler Ink. (I have added myself to the COI template to the top of this page.)

Kirill Tatarinov is no longer the CEO of Citrix Systems, per this source and source, among others. Due to my financial COI, I will not directly edit the article and hope someone can make this change for me.

since you have both reviewed edit requests here before, would either of you be able to make this update? 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 18:16, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Yes, I suppose so. Altamel (talk) 22:19, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Updates
Hello. I have a few edit suggestions to make on behalf of the public relations firm, Abernathy MacGregor, who is employed by Mr. Tatarinov. These suggestions can help add some color to Tatarinov's background as well as his work with Citrix. To avoid a potential COI, I will outline my edits below, rather than adding them myself. I will bold my changes for clarity.

If there are any issues with my suggestions please let me know.

In Background and education:

Tatarinov grew up in Moscow. His father was a computer engineer in the former Soviet Union. Tatarinov was interested in technology from an early age and he received a master's diploma of systems engineering from Moscow University of Transport Engineering (MIIT) specializing in computers. During his student years, Tatarinov wrote programs for hardware clones on punch cards.

In 1990, Tatarinov left the Soviet Union for Israel. He then moved to Australia in 1991. In 1994, Tatarinov emigrated to the United States after Patrol Software, the software startup he co-founded, was acquired by Houston-based BMC Software.

After realizing his Soviet education lacked a sufficient emphasis on teamworking, Tatarinov enrolled in an executive MBA program at Houston Baptist University where the majority of the coursework involved team projects. Tatarinov received an MBA from Houston Baptist University in 1997.

Tatarinov began his career working for several systems, networking, and consulting companies in the Soviet Union, Israel, and Australia. In 1991, he co-founded Patrol Software in Australia, which made a database and systems management product. Tatarinov served as the company's chief architect and head of research and development.

Houston-based enterprise software maker BMC Software, Inc acquired Patrol Software in 1994. Tatarinov worked for BMC in the U.S. for eight years following the acquisition and became the company's chief technology officer.

Tatarinov joined Microsoft in 2002 to lead the company's Management and Solutions Division. That same year, Computerworld named him one of the business world’s Premier 100 IT Leaders. In 2007, he became the executive vice president of Microsoft Business Solutions. In that position, he oversaw Microsoft Dynamics Customer relationship management and Enterprise resource planning software. Under his leadership, the Microsoft Dynamics business doubled in revenue. He also led the division's transition to the cloud. Tatarinov left Microsoft in October 2015 as part of a management overhaul.

In January 2016, Tatarinov was named the CEO of Citrix Systems. He also joined the company board.

In May 2016, at the company's annual Citrix Synergy customer event, Tatarinov presented a new strategy for the company, which included focusing on growing core products. '''Tatarinov used the Synergy event as the roll-out platform for the rebranded Citrix Cloud, formerly known as Citrix Workspace Cloud. Tatarinov’s revamp of Citrix Cloud included the renaming of its services to reflect the “industry leading products that provide their technology foundation” and a continued push towards shaping the “Workspace of the Future.”'''

Later that year, as part of that strategy, Tatarinov reorganized Citrix and spun off the company's GoTo line of products.

The following May at Citrix Synergy 2017, Tatarinov rolled out Citrix Analytics, “a holistic security and behavior analytics program” to extend the capabilities of the Citrix NetScaler Management and Analytics System (MAS).

Tatarinov left Citrix in July 2017, having served 18 months as CEO.
