Leadership
Michael G. Taytslin, President & Chief Executive Officer
Michael Taytslin founded MatchPoint International Inc. (MPI) in January 2006 with the same intrepid energy that propelled him from the Soviet Union to the United States in 1980. His career has spanned every level of the hi-tech industry, rising from a programmer and systems architect to Chief Information Officer with PTC, an industry leader in CAD/CAM and PLM. Michael has managed the global client services of small, medium and large enterprise software development companies. In addition to overseeing INSCI Corporation’s operations, Michael built the company’s client services department; he also spearheaded Centive Inc’s dramatic turnaround in 2002 by reinvigorating its client services.
Since launching MPI, Michael has cultivated strategic partnerships between his clients and offshore software engineers. He is developing markets in Europe and Israel for cutting edge business intelligence firms; and he continues to successfully consult companies seeking to optimize their operations, processes, personnel placement, sales, and marketing.
Michael holds a dual M.S. in Engineering and Computer Science from the Sevastopol State Technical University.
Dan Goldenblatt, VP of Business Development
Dan is one of the pioneers of renewable energy and clean technology in Israel. As a political advisor to a member of the Israeli Parliament, he championed a feed-in tariff, which laid the groundwork for establishing a renewable energy market in Israel. He also led a legislative effort promoting energy efficiency in public utilities.
Following three years in parliament, Dan became VP, Energy and Investments with NRVision Ventures, a private equity fund that invests chiefly in clean technology startups. Among his responsibilities, Dan was acting CEO of Genova Ltd., a startup developing distributed generation reactors that convert biomass waste into electricity and heat.
Dan later joined PowerSines, a developer of energy-saving voltage control regulators for large lighting systems. As their EU Regional Manager, he conducted business development activities throughout Europe and expanded his professional network among mid- and large-scale players in the European electricity and energy markets.
Dan holds a law degree from the University of Wales, College of Cardiff and an MBA from the University of Derby.
