Hello,
My name is Nikita and I'm from Devart https://www.devart.com/.
I would like to contact someone from executive staff of Git. I would be very
thankful for some information how to do this or if someone contacts me.
Thanks for attention and sorry if I disturbed someone.
Best regards
Nikita Malikov

Git is a free software volunteer project and as such, it has no
"executive staff" in the sense enterprises put into it.
Can you maybe state your actual goals please?
Say, if you're looking for commercial support, we could possibly
suggests a couple of pointers.

Konstantin,
My goal is to establish partnership relations with Git because some of
Devart's products support Git version control system (for example dbForge
Studio for SQL Server https://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/studio/).
My team and I would be glad to come up with cross-marketing activities
between Devart and Git. We think that some users of our development products
would be interested to switch to Git version control system.
Best regards
Nikita Malikov

Nikita,
As git is free software, you are free to use it in any way you see fit, as
long as you adhere to its licensing terms, and to the copyright
restrictions on using the term "git". Thus there is no need to ask
permission and there does not on the git side exist any entity interested
in "cross marketing activities". If your want to use git in your products,
you are free to do so without asking, and if you need technical advice for
how to go about integrating git in your products, you can either ask here,
on stackoverflow, (and probably lots of other places) or hire a consultant
that can help you.
Hope this helps,
Dov

s/copyright/trademark/.
As one of Software Freedom Conservancy projects, I suspect that the
Git PLC git@sfconservancy.org may be the closest to such "entity"
that represents open source Git community's interest to the outside
world with help from lawyers.
Not that I think Git PLC is interested in such a cross marketting
arrangement, but if Devart wants to advertise on their webpage
saying "we support Git by making contributions to SFC" or something
like that, they are the people to talk to.
