Wolf has been a leader in the technology industry for over 20 years. Since joining EastBanc Technologies in 2007, originally as CEO, he has overseen the organic growth of the company taking it from 35 employees to over 200, with staff turnover of virtually zero. This enthusiastic workforce, coupled with Wolf’s keen vision and strategic direction, has seen EastBanc Tech establish itself at the frontier of technology with a reputation for game-changing excellence.

Wolf is an entrepreneur, technology advocate, and mentor. He serves on numerous boards and groups, including the Board of Halcyon House, Board of Center of Innovative Technologies, Microsoft Customer Advisory Board for Microsoft Azure, Board of Directors of Questback as well as Investment Boards, among others.

Wolf is a citizen of the world. Born in Nuremberg, Germany, he spent his life traveling and dodging curveballs. It was the ones he caught that led him to where he is today. He firmly believes that the world is our playground, and not to be limited by what we see in front of us.

A prolific member of the Washington, D.C. business community, Anthony founded EastBanc Technologies in 2000 and continues to serve as President.

The EastBanc brand pre-dates EastBanc Technologies, and was originally established by Anthony with the formation of a real estate investment company – EastBanc – in 1987. The firm specializes in the acquisition, redevelopment, and management of city center real estate assets, notably urban revitalization and retail.

Marrying his passion for real estate with his stake in EastBanc Technologies, Anthony was instrumental in the acquisition, renovation, and expansion of our current offices in the historic Georgetown Post Office.

Born in Brazil, Anthony was raised and educated in Austria. Married with three children, he now calls Georgetown home.

Oleg has been working in the field of software architecture and development for nearly 20 years and joined EastBanc Technologies in 2004 to help us fulfill our plans for growth. Since then, Oleg has achieved outstanding success in defining the technology strategy and innovative standards, tools, technologies, and processes that are at the core of our solutions and services.

Notably, Oleg has championed the standardization of DevOps in all we do and is a firm believer in driving the adoption of automation and artificial intelligence applications, particularly in industries where new technologies are fast becoming mainstream (genetics, 3D printing, robotics, neural interfaces, mesh technologies, etc.).

Oleg holds a Bachelor of Mathematics and a Master of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Novosibirsk State University, and is an AWS Certified Software Architect.

When not architecting software, Oleg can be found, somewhat reluctantly, tackling home improvement projects. However, given the chance, you’ll find him more passionately engaged in all things science – augmented reality, nanotechnology, robotics – and all that stuff the rest of us take for granted.

Jill is a key architect in helping us build a roadmap for product and partner success. She joined EastBanc Technologies in 2014 and brought her keen eye for realizing synergies across sales, marketing, and technology teams to better support client success. Jill has overall responsibility for technical delivery, including defining operational processes and tailoring solutions for each client. Jill also manages our relationships with Microsoft, AWS, and other partners, so that we can focus on providing clients with the right solution for their business needs, while offering a vendor-agnostic approach.

Jill previously held several operational and managerial positions at AvePoint Public Sector, Inc. in Arlington, VA. She holds a bachelor's degree in Communications from Michigan State University and like many of our leadership team, is a certified AWS business professional.

Jill is a proud mom to Eleanor, Jack, and Ronzo, her beloved Flat Coat Retriever. Jill hails from Michigan and resides in Anne Arundel County in Maryland. When not chasing around her two young children, Jill enjoys taking advantage of all that the Washington, D.C. area has to offer, including hitting museums, vineyards and the beach.

Alexey had been in project management for 17 years when he joined EastBanc Technologies to oversee technical projects. He had been looking for an opportunity to apply his knowledge at a company level and immediately brought leadership to projects for WMATA, Comcast, MBO Partners, and the American Red Cross. In his role as Head of PMO, he established internal processes for effectiveness and knowledge sharing, standing up the PMO from scratch. He continues to build project management, BA, UX/UI and quality assurance resources that are used company-wide.

Alexey earned the designation of Project Management Professional (PMP) and Customer Service Management (CSM). He holds a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from Novosibirsk State University. Before he came to us, he led an offshore team of developers and testers for UniPro.

Catherine speaks five languages, has a Master of Arts in Egyptology from Georg August University, a Master of Business Administration from Turku University of Applied Sciences, and practices the Brazilian martial art of capoeira. Clearly she has a lot to talk about, so it’s no surprise that she loves to socialize and play hostess to friends in her Washington D.C. home.
