Arcadia, Inc. was founded in March of 1993 by Arcady Khotin to take advantage of the growing opportunities arising from Russia's move to a free market economy. He has spent over 20 years as both a software developer and a project manager, and served as Software Development Manager for one of the first Russian-American joint ventures, where he was responsible for supervising over 100 programmers. Mr. Khotin formed Arcadia, Inc. , a St. Petersburg software firm, after he recognized that thousands of highly qualified computer scientists, engineers and programmer/analysts would no longer be employed in the government, military or R&D sector after the end of the Cold War.
