Hi everyone,

For those of you attending Summit this year, please stop by the Community, User Groups and MVP booth! Our Product Management Operations team not only manages the community but licensing, pricing, product promotions, strategy, accounts and billing experience, Always Current and more!

We would love to meet you, share experiences and answer any questions you have!

The Team:

@VladS - Vlad Sushkin, Developer Relations Manager, Live near Seattle, WA

Joined Acumatica 2 years ago as Technical Support (PreSales)

I help plan Hackathon and Summit Technical sessions! I'm on the ProdOps team under Kiran, and also assist with Developer Networks, such as the All-Star Developers and the Developer MVPs. I love automation and I'm really excited about AI Studio making the rounds.

In my free time I do weight training, boxing, and host volleyball events around WA state. I'm also a big nerd and play/judge MtG. Come say hi! 🙂 

@DustinShisler94 - Dustin Shisler, Product Manager, Live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada 

Joined Acumatica in July 2024

I'm on the Product Operations team, where I manage the new Account & Billing experience, the Always Current Program, and anything else I can help with to improve the customer experience.

My free time is all about family, music, and art. Come by and say hi! Bonus points if you know any dad jokes!

@KiranPenaka14 - Kiran Penaka, Dir of Prod Ops., Portland OR

Product strategist, sales plays, and product management are my forte. Extremely  interested in learning about customer experiences, VARs experiences and understand how we can help them.

Pickleball, snowboarding, traveling and cooking are my interests.

@BrettWilliams25 - Brett Williams, Pricing and Promotions, Pittsburgh, PA 

2 Years at Acumatica

Pricing and Publishing Acumatica products, modules, and ISVs, and set Acumatica Promotions each quarter.

My interests include running, and hitting the beaches in Florida and the Keys.

@schernyak02 - Sergey Chernyak, Product Operations Analyst, Live near Seattle, WA 

Joined Acumatica in April 2015

I’m on the Product Operations team, having moved into this role a few months ago. During this time, I’ve enjoyed working closely with teams across Acumatica on cross-functional efforts—updating our Licensing Guide, enhancing how we manage price list changes, and other key initiatives for the Product organization.

Outside of work, I’m usually with family and friends or hunting down my next great meal - anything from a Seattle Dog to oysters on the half shell. I’m also a big Seattle sports fan, which means I’ve survived my fair share of Mariners and Seahawks seasons… so I can handle tough questions.

Come by the Acumatica Community booth to talk Licensing Guide, product offerings—or break down your favorite moments from the Seahawks–49ers playoff showdown.

Cheers and see you at Summit!
