Investment and stability, social issues and a number of charitable projects: about the work of Ilgiz Valitov, one of the well-known top managers of Russia. It has long been fairly noted that the main thing in business development is people. Based on this principle, you can really achieve success in your business. Moreover, it is possibleto make sure that personal professional contributions, together with major investments in certain sectors of the economy,givereal results, strengthen the industrial and financial potential of companies, and, ultimately, provide people with jobs and stable wages. This approach, in the opinion of many experts, is demonstrated by Ilgiz N. Valitov, one of the Russia'sleading topmanagers who led various investment areas of VTB and Vnesheconombank. Bank investments under the patronage of Ilgiz Valitov in the industrial sector and in real areas of economic development in different years have significantly increased the potential of the automotive, construction, chemical, machine-building, energy, and agro-industrial sectors. THOUSANDS OF NEW JOBS Suffice it to name a few large companies in the investment development of which Ilgiz Valitov was directly involved: KAMAZ, a concrete plant in the Leningrad region, the Kazan modern packaging plant – a unique full-cycle enterprise, and the TikhvinFreight Car Building plant (now it produces up to 10,000 cars with increased load capacity and operating life per year) – the largest machine-building facility built in Europe. In addition, today it is a city-forming enterprise, where five thousand new jobs have been created. In due time with support of Ilgiz Valitov large projects in Krasnoyarsk region for the total sum of 175 billion roubles (participation of "Vnesheconombank" - 100 billion roubles) have been realized. And again here it is a question of creation more than 10 thousand new workplaces! Thanks to VEB's credit support; it was also possible to establish the Russian agricultural holding Miratorg, which is now one of the largest companies in Russia's agricultural sector. 10 years ago Vnesheconombank started financing the Miratorg Beef Production Project in the Bryansk Region (over 24 billion rubles were invested in the project, 21 billion of which were allocated by VEB). Ilgiz Valitov’s attraction of banking resources made it possible to return an additional 200,000 hectares of abandoned land to agricultural turnover. The total number of cattle amounted to 500,000 and more than three dozen new, modern farms were built. The cost of the project amounted to 871.5 million dollars (Vnesheconombank loan - 742 million dollars). Such effective investments made it possible to develop livestock breeding complexes in the Orel, Kaluga, Bryansk, Tula, Smolensk and Kursk regions... Three years ago Miratorg Holding was included in the list of systemically important enterprises of the Russian Federation. It was Ilgiz Valitov's experience, professionalism and competent approach as Head of the Natural Resources and Construction Directorate of Vnesheconombank that also made it possible to form whole clusters for the production of cars and car components in the Kaluga Region. This includes the construction of such production facilities as “Volkswagen Rus” and “Peugeot Citroën Mitsubishi Automobiles” in the Rosva Industrial Park. It should be noted that as a result of the project implementation in the period from 2008 to 2019, the total amount of tax revenue to the budgets of all levels was more than80 billion rubles, and the enterprises provided thousands of employees with new jobs. HUNDREDS OF INVESTMENT PROJECTS New high-paid jobs were also created with the participation of Ilgiz Valitovdue to a project to build a modern mining and processing complex in the Perm region – theVerkhnekamsk Potash Company. Last year, Russian Minister of Industry Denis Manturov also assessed the importance of this project for the development of the national economy and industry in the region. It should be noted that the total investment in the project will amount to 87 billion roubles. Another successful investment project involving Ilgiz Valitov is the construction and launch of production of antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs at the Terbuny Open Economic Zone in the Lipetsk Region. The company in question is Rafarma, which has received a loan of approximately 2.7 billion rubles. Today the plant meets the needs of the population of six major regions of Russia, in particular, Moscow, the Moscow region, the Krasnodar Territory, St. Petersburg, the Republics of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan. Moreover, the project has significantly reduced the share of imported medicines. It should be noted that the project was supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Health and Social Development and the Lipetsk Region Administration. Again, this is only a part of the investment projects that were implemented under the patronage of Ilgiz N. Valitov. Over the years, he has managed to implement several hundred investment projects in various sectors of the Russian economy, which are estimated at trillions of roubles. FOCUS ON RESULTS, ON THE PERSON AT WORK Precise planning, control, a focus on results, a focus on the person at work, on their motivation – thisis what distinguishes Ilgiz Valitov. Creating and launching new, modern production facilities has been a kind of guarantee of social stability, prospects and individual regions and the country as a whole. Ilgiz Valitov's patronage allowed a number of enterprises and holdings to become one of the best companies and the locomotive of the Russian economy. For reference: in 2018, Vnesheconombank was headed by former First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Igor Shuvalov. Vnesheconombank's operations are regulated by federal legislation rather than by the Bank of Russia and are one of the most important instruments for implementing Russia's economic policy. The Bank is engaged in overcoming restrictions on infrastructure growth, increasing the efficiency of natural resource use, developing progressive and knowledge-intensive areas, implementing particularly important industrial projects and supporting business. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE Ilgiz Valitov graduated from the Suvorov Military School and received his first higher education after graduating from the Golitsyn Frontier Military and Political School of the USSR KGB (later – coursesof the USSR KGB). He took part in military operations on the Soviet-Afghan border. He also graduated from Kazan Finance and Economics Institute with success. The acquired versatile experience and knowledge allowed him to develop further as a professional manager in the highest positions and toparticipate in the implementation of major projects of national importance. As early as 1994, Ilgiz Valitov was appointed as Director of a major company ROSTEK-Kama, later he was the Manager of the Tatar branch of Vneshtorgbank in Kazan, Vice-President of VTB Bank, the Head of the Natural Resources and Construction Directorate of Vnesheconombank, and a member of the Board of Directors of KAMAZ OJSC. GOOD BUSINESS As Ilgiz Valitov's colleagues note, the tremendous dedication to his work allowed him not only to realize his potential in developing business projects, but also to provide significant assistance to various charitable organizations and associations. Such charity is not a one-time thing, but systematic support for those who need it, those who help others, doing it efficiently and professionally. Ilgiz Valitov does not advertise work within the framework of his charitable projects. However, it is known that such support is constantly provided to a number of organizations: the Foundation for Assistance in Providing Medical-Social and Rehabilitation Assistance to Children with Severe Injuries and their Consequences (the foundation of children's doctor Roshal), the "Give Life" foundation, the "Children's Palliative Care" foundation, the regional public organization of the Tatar National and Cultural Autonomous Region of Moscow, the "Suvorovets" charity foundation of the Kazan Suvorov School, the "Code of Honour" charity foundation. It is the implementation of complex projects not only in Russia, but also abroad, and the recognition of merit and professional activity that allows Ilgiz Valitov to realize his potential in the charitable and social sphere as well. COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT It is obvious that the principle of Ilgiz Valitov's work, both in the area of business investment, and that in the area of social investment is the focus on the individual, on his needs and well-being. Dozens of new production facilities, tens of thousands of new jobs, the growth of the country's economic potential – allthis is also a solution to a whole block of social issues of Russia's development. Large Bank investments gave an impetus to the continued development of enterprises in various industries, and this development continues today. Such investments in social and charitable projects also give significant results. And the lives and quality of life of the country's residents depend on the results.

The ROSTEС-Kama company began its history in 1995. Established as a branch of CJSCROSTEС-Tatarstan, the company has taken a leading position in the provision of customs services, which gave an impetus to the development of foreign trade throughout the Zakama economic zone of the Republic of Tatarstan. Immediately after the formation of ROSTEС-Kama, Ilgiz N. Valitov was appointed thefirst director of the company. His enthusiasm and initiative, energy and management potential made a significant contribution not only to the development of Tatarstan's customs business, but also to the creation of a number of leading manufacturing enterprises in different regions of Russia. At the roots of successful companies It is no secret that the success story of the company largely depends on the people who were at the origin of its creation. According to experts, an important factor that determined the further effective work of ROSTEС-Kama was the arrival of Ilgiz Valitov as director. He was still a young Manager, but wise and experienced beyond his years. If we talk about the biography of Ilgiz Valitov, he was born in Kazan on December 6, 1964. After the 8th grade of secondary school, he went to study at the Suvorov military school, and received higher education at the Golitsyn border military and political school of the KGB of the USSR. He took part in military operations on the Soviet-Afghan border. He graduated from the courses of the KGB of the USSR. After returning from military service to his peaceful life with the rank of major, Ilgiz Valitov realized that new knowledge was needed to build a future career. He entered the Kazan Institute of Finance and Economics and successfully graduated from it. Subsequently, Valitov's knowledge has since been applied in many sectors of the economy. In 1994, he joined ROSTEС-Kama as director, and subsequently worked in senior positions in a number of other Russian companies. For example, he was the manager of the newly opened Tatarstan branch of Vneshtorgbank in Kazan, worked as a Vice-President of VTB Bank, headed the Directorate of natural resources and construction of Vnesheconombank, and was a member of the Board of Directors of OJSC KAMAZ. It should also be noted that Valitov was directly involved in the development of a number of his own investment projects. Ilgiz Valitov's energy andmanagerial experience enabled him to set up an enterprise to produce polymer products for goods packaging – theKazan modern packagingplant. The new full-cycle plant, capable of producing 44 million box-type bags, is located on the territory of the Kazan Technopolis "Himgrad". In addition to the above, under the leadership of Ilgiz Valitov, investment projects have been implemented in other sectors of the economy: the petrochemical and agro-industrial complex, coal mining and mineral fertilizers production. All these projects are scattered across many regions of Russia: in the Perm region, Kaluga, Omsk, Bryansk regions, as well as in Yakutia. Experts believethatIlgiz Valitov made a particularly significant contribution to the economic development of Tatarstan. Representatives of the financial and banking markets agree: to this day the republic is one of the locomotives of the country's economic development in implementing a number of important and promising projects. Let us tell you more about Ilgiz Valitov's contribution to Tatarstan's customs service. Development history of the Tatarstan Customs Service In the development of the economic zone, the customs station plays a leading role. The establishment of the Zakamaeconomic zone, one of Tatarstan's leading agricultural and production clusters, is a clear example.The origin of the economic zone was the customs broker ROSTEС-Kama. Let us tell you in brief how the customs enterprise was organized. The history of the Kazan customs began in 1986, when Kazan airport was granted international status. At that time, the employees of the service were only dealing with the luggage of ordinary travelers. However, with the beginning of the 90s, the situation started to change dramatically. With the abolition of the state monopoly on foreign economic activity, Russian companies began to trade actively with companies from abroad. Thus, the Tatarstan customs service transformed from a "suitcase" into a fiscal and economic, controlling, protective and law enforcement agency. In addition, it was given the authority to control currency turnover. All this required the establishment of new customs departments and posts. The problem was the virtually non-existent infrastructure and the lack of relevant knowledge and competence among customs employees. In order to provide the Zakama region with everything it needed to carry out its foreign trade activities, the NaberezhnyeChelny customs post was established in June 1990, and four years later the NaberezhnyeChelny customs office began its history. The newly established customs authorities were tasked with controlling and simplifying the processes of border crossing for goods to be delivered to the counters of Russian retail outlets. However, the full development of foreign trade is simply impossible without the development of near-customs services (e.g. the creation of warehouses, cargo declaration services, etc.). For this purpose, in mid-1992, the Russian Government adopted a resolution on the establishment of the Russian customs operating concern. In order to successfully implement a whole range of customs tasks, ROSTEС branches were opened in the regions. The regional subdivisions had their own SVH (temporary storage warehouses), customs terminals, and operational services. In 1994, NaberezhnyeChelny customs office and the ROSTEС-Kama company were organized, with Ilgiz Valitov as the first director. The activities of the FGUPROSTEС were aimed at solving the tasks set by the Federal customs service and regulating the activities of Russian customs facilities in the interests of both state and commercial companies. Shortly after its establishment, this customs broker began to provide a wide range of services to the largest exporting companies: OJSC KAMAZ, OJSC Zainsky Sugar, LLC TsF Kama, OJSC VAMIN-Tatarstan, CJSC Chelny Bread, Cardboard and Paper Mill NaberezhnyeChelny, LLC Chelny Broilerand others. During its operation, the leading customs broker in the Zakama region has repeatedly won the Best Customs Broker of the Volga Federal District competition. Now the company works with any types of cargo transported by road, air and rail. Having invested his own knowledge, energy and experience in the creation of a modern customs infrastructure in Zakamaregion, the first director of ROSTEС-Kama, Ilgiz Valitov, is currently one of the most successful Russian managers, and his business projects continue to strengthenthe country's economy.

Ilgiz Valitov: investments in the real production sector are a strategic task for the Russian economydevelopment. The experience and direct involvement of Ilgiz Valitov, the Head of the Natural Resources and Construction Directorate of Vnesheconombank, made it possible to implement one of the largest and most promising investment projects in the Republic of Tatarstan. Sustainable economic growth in Russia, as well as in other countries, is largely determined by the active participation of the banking system in the investment process and, above all, in lending to the real economy. This primarily means "long" money, which makes it possible to put into operation the most efficient, high-tech, highly profitable and large industrial facilities in all sectors of the economy. It helpsnot only to raise certain areas of business, but also to develop the infrastructure and potential of certain regions and the country as a whole. EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM Of course, there are certain risks associated with the implementation of investment projects. This is particularly true for credit resources that provide for the construction of large enterprises that are being created from scratch.And here experience, management skills and investor professionalism are at the heart of it. Ilgiz Valitov's work as the Head of the Natural Resources and Construction Directorate at Vnesheconombank in building its project portfolio allowed to solve strategically important tasks, to accumulate and to maintain the latest knowledge and technologies, and to pay particular attention to increasing investment support for Russian innovative industries and, at the same time, for certain enterprises, most of which can be called unique. Over the years, Ilgiz Valitov has directly participated in the implementation of at least two hundred investment projects in various sectors of the economy - construction, agriculture, petrochemicalindustry, metallurgy, machine-building, mining, the pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industryand in other important areas of the Russian economy. In addition, tens of thousands of new jobs have been created. HIGH-TECH, HIGHLY PROFITABLE PRODUCTION For example, Russia's modern and high-tech gas chemical complex, the Ammonium Mineral Fertilizer Plant, which was launched in 2016 and is successfully developing in the Republic of Tatarstan, was previously on the verge of bankruptcy due to its extremely low profitability. With the investment support of Vnesheconombank, it was possible to design and launch a unique, innovative and environmentally friendly chemical production that has practically no analogues in the world. In Ilgiz Valitov's practice, there are quite a few projects that at first seem to be impossible to implement and where practice shows that risks are ultimately justified. At the same time, the focus is not only on maximum profit, but also on economic growth in the regions and the country, on creating new jobs and improving the quality of life. Suffice it to say that from the very first months of operation, AmmoniumJSC began to reach its design capacity, meeting the needs of both the Russian and foreign market for mineral fertilizers and other industrial products! In February 2016, at the solemn launch of the production site, Vladimir Putin congratulated all those involved in the implementation of such a major project, which is in demand for the country and for the development of the Russian economy. The Head of State noted that no similar natural gas processing enterprises with full production cycle have been put into operation in Russia since 1991. Vladimir Putin added that the company's products in Tatarstan will be used in various areas, including construction and agriculture. In addition, the plant's products also have a large export potential. By the way, a year later, AmmoniumJSC produced the first million tonnes of ammonia and urea. MAKE IT A REALITY The focus of Ilgiz Valitov's work was on supporting advanced, high-tech projects. This strategy is inherent in all of Vnesheconombank's activities. Project financing makes it possible to implement innovative ideas and developments, facilitating their successful entry into the market with competitive, high-tech world-class products. For reference: Ammonium JSC is located in Mendeleevsk (Republic of Tatarstan). The new capacities of the plant allow processing natural gas as efficiently as possible - up to a depth of 94%. The uniqueness of the project is precisely in obtaining ammonia from natural gas at the level of maximum processing. There are only three such companies in the world today. Ammonia is the basic feedstock for the production of granulated urea and ammonium nitrate, which are widely used as fertilizers in the agricultural sector. Ammonia is also a feedstock for methanol production, which is also highly demanded in the petrochemical industry. Deep processing of natural gas makes the project highly environmentally friendly, as 96% of industrial emissions are used in production. The company currently employs over 500 people, including highly qualified ones. WITH ATTRACTION OF INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL Investment projects both yesterday and today determine the development prospects of certain enterprises and the whole industry, herewith increasing the economic potential of the regions. It is no coincidence that investment projects are called the locomotive of economic development and growth. The plant in Tatarstan is another result of Vnesheconombank's work and Ilgiz Valitov's competent investment policy. The project has become one of the largest in the industry. In total, VEB invested over 2 billion dollars in the project. International cooperation has become an important area for the development of banking investments in the implementation of the “Ammonium”plant construction project. Stepwise implementation of Vnesheconombank's investment programme in Tatarstan and securing project financing from Ilgiz Valitov as the Head of the Bank's Directorate, also served as the basis for attracting foreign investment. The partner was the Japan State Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), as well as a number of other financial institutions of Japan (note that the Japanese side is not involved in the share capital). Rustam Minnikhanov, President of Tatarstan, evaluating such international cooperation, investment potential and the quality level of new production already at the construction stage, emphasized that the commissioning of the "Ammonium" plant was one of the most unique Russian-Japanese projects. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES As it has already been noted, one of the most efficient automated and environmentally friendly technologies in the world from a well-known Danish company was selected and implemented for the project.High productivity and energy efficiency of the facilities allow us to reduce the cost of finished products to the maximum extent possible, making them competitive on industry markets. Such tasks were also set by Ilgiz Valitov as early as the project development stage. Specialists note that energy consumption at “Ammonia” plant is about one-third lower than that of other manufacturers. This factor is becoming crucial for the promotion of finished products in the markets and for the project success as a whole, because energy consumption is now one of the major expenditure items for industrial enterprises. Competitive pricing and the high quality of Ammonia's products have made them extremely popular both in Russia and abroad. It suffices to say that every year Tatarstan's agricultural enterprises alone consume around half a million tonnes of nitrogen fertilizers. For reference:Granular urea used to be quite expensive, but after the opening of a new plant, such a promising fertilizer became affordable for small, medium and large agricultural enterprises (urea – theammonia form of nitrogen – quicklyenters the soil complex and is effectively given to the plant). NO HARM TO THE ENVIRONMENT One of the main issues for Ilgiz Valitov at the stage the investment project approving was environmental issues. As a result, the technologies used at the enterprise make it possible to talk about virtually safe, environmentally friendly production.At the “Ammonium” plant, the combined production of ammonia and methanol waste excess CO2 is spent to methanol production. CO2 is also a raw material for urea production.In addition, the plant has a non-drainage scheme: all discharges are treated at biological treatment plants and returned to the production cycle. No wastewater is discharged into water sources. As specialists say, white smoke from turbines at the plant is not smoke at all, but steam or warm air. There are no other harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The entire process is actually built on theclosed cycle principle and virtually waste-free production. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Competent banking investments ultimately lead to the creation of new jobs, the introduction of new technologies, the solution of environmental problems, an increase in the tax and insurance base, the formation of entire production clusters and the growth of the economic potential of the territories. Importantly, new production facilities make it possible to support and develop the social sphere in the regions where we operate.In addition, the construction and operation of new production facilities also loads the capacities of other related companies and contractors. In this regard, the effect of implementing certain investment projects in the real sectors of the economy is expanding significantly. The results of the work of Ilgiz Valitov, the Head of the Natural Resources and Construction Directorate of Vnesheconombank, are precisely related to the implementation of such projects, which are crucial to the country's economy. Together with Vnesheconombank specialists, Ilgiz Valitov managed to build an investment infrastructure and significantly boost the banking sector's activity in the investment process.The implementation of a well-thought-out investment strategy aimed at the construction and commissioning of unique, innovative and highly profitable production facilities has made it possible to find points of growth and resolve tasks related to the development of Russia's economic potential.

Vnesheconombank has played a significant role in lots ofinvestment projects had been launched and were successfully implementedin Russia over the past 10 years. Some of these projects were launched under the patronage of Ilgiz Valitov, one of VEB's leading top managers. In particular, he participated in the development of such projects as industrial parks in the Kaluga Region, the Miratorg complex for the production of beef cattle in the Bryansk Region, the largest coal mining and processing plant in Yakutia, a potash ore mining and processing complex in the Perm Region, a petrochemical plant for the production of polypropylene in the Omsk Region, and concrete production in the Penza and Leningrad Regions. These projects have not only been implemented, but are still being actively developed. The Asia Cement plant in the Penza region isoneof such projects. Cement production at the plant has exceeded 1.7 million tonnes since early 2019. This was recently reported by Ramil Akzhigitov, Sales Director of the company, during the annual meeting with partners. He specified that by the end of the current year the shipping figures will amount to more than 14 thousand cars and over 32 thousand trucks. According to the management of Asia CementLLC, in 2019 it was possible to take a number of steps to modernize the enterprise and make necessary adjustments to production processes, which allowed creating a certain reserve for the future. Indeed, Asia Cement is a modern plant for “dry” cement productionnowadays. It was opened in the Nikolsky district of the Penza region in 2014. Its products were repeatedly included in the "100 Best Products of Russia". However, not many people remember what role Vnesheconombank played in its launch, and even more so how Ilgiz Valitov, one of the top managers of the credit institution, took part in this. By the time the company was launched, Valitov had been heading the Natural Resources and Construction Directorate of Vnesheconombank for three years. That time VEB acquired a 49% stake in Asia Cement, a Penza-based company. The transfer of shares to VEB was a kind of program to repay the company's debt. The amount of the transaction was $86.5 million. In addition, Asia CementLLC received $133 million from the Eximbank of China for the construction of the plant through VEB. As a result, experts estimate that the cost of Chinese loans to Asia Cement was 50% cheaper than Russian ones. These funds were used to pay for the work of the principal contractor and equipment supplier, the Consortium of the Chinese State Machine Import and Export Company. VEB's main participation in this grand project was provided by Ilgiz Valitov. By this time, Valitov had extensive management experience in the banking industry and beyond. In the early 2000s he became the first manager of Vneshtorgbank's Tatarstan branch in Kazan. Thanks to Valitov, the Tatarstan branch showed considerable dynamics and was ranked first in the rating of the best regional subdivisions of the bank in the country. At the same time, he worked for several years as a member of the Board of Directors of KAMAZOJSC. In 2007, Ilgiz Valitov moved to the head office of Russia's backbone credit organization as Vice-President. His talent and experience in implementing serious projects and his responsible approach to business have played a significant role in Vnesheconombank's operations. In 2007, Valitov became the Head of the Regional DevelopmentDepartment at Vnesheconombank, then – theHead of the Natural Resources Department of the Corporation. While working for the Bank and implementing investment projects on behalf of VEB, Ilgiz Valitov was a member of the boards of directors of such companies as LSR GroupOJSC, Titan-Agro Ltd, Federal Centre for Project FinancingOJSC, Krasnoyarsk Territory Development CorporationOJSC, Verkhnekamsk Potash CompanyJSC. All of them are leading companies in the Russian economy, the impetus for the development of which was given precisely in the implementation of joint projects with VEB. As experts note, Valitov has done a lot, first and foremost, for the economy of his native Republic of Tatarstan. According to federal and regional media, with his energy and entrepreneurial spirit, Valitov took part in the formation of the banking sector, in the development of petrochemical enterprises and the automotive industry in the region. Under Valitov's leadership, major projects were implemented not only in Tatarstan, but also in other regions of the country and in various industries. The cement plant in the Penza region, which we discussed above, is one of Ilgiz Valitov's many successful projects. Suffice it to recall how the project to develop the Omsk polypropylene plant was implemented. Funding from Vnesheconombank amounted to over 9 billion roubles. The plant was launched in April 2013. The planned capacity was 180 thousand tonnes of polypropylene of various grades per year. Modern production technology, as well as high quality and the demand for products on the market, allowed the actual output of polypropylene to be expanded to 218,000 tonnes per year. Soon the plant turned out to be so attractive that in 2014 Gazprom Neft and SIBUR incorporated it into their production chains by acquiring a stake in the project. VEB's development impulse is still having a positive impact on the production. The product range now includes 98 grades of polypropylene and copolymers, which are used to manufacture of sewage and water pipes, fittings, car parts, household appliances and various packaging. Poliom's products are in demand both in Russia and abroad. Products are supplied to China, Serbia, Germany, Italy and other countries. It should be noted that the large commercial projects implemented by Ilgiz Valitov each time had a huge effect and influenced the entire industries, spheres of activity, gave impetus to the development of a favorable investment climate in the territory of specific regions and the country as a whole. Ilgiz Valitov is one of the young and promising managers in Russia. He has extensive experience of the major Russian companiesmanaging in various industries. His activities have always contributed to improving the business climate and accelerating the rate of investment inflow. The results of his work are still visible and successfully launched and operating companies and enterprises are proofs of thisproviding thousands of jobs and billions of roubles of tax deductions.
