Russia’s Sberbank carries through senior staff moves

By Andrei Skvarsky.

Sberbank has parted company with Andrei Sharov, its head of government relations, moved head of marketing Vladislav (Vlad) Kreinin to the position of chief growth officer in the unit overseeing the bank’s ecosystem, and promoted senior executive Natalya Dudina to the role of head of human resources.

Sberbank has credited Sharov with a series of successful projects during his five and a half years’ work at Russia’s biggest lender.

These have included “more than ten” Russian government-backed soft loan programmes, a remote electronic signing experiment, and initiatives to facilitate starting a business and simplify procedures for financing small and medium-sized enterprises, the bank said in a statement.

He was also instrumental in organising a course that has provided more than 600,000 people with entrepreneurial training and in pulling off an agreement between Sberbank and the government to set up a nationwide business training platform.

Before joining Sberbank in 2014, Sharov had served as governor of the Moscow region for nearly two years.

The duties of Kreinin as chief growth officer at SberX, the department managing Sberbank’s ecosystem, will include coordinating the development of disruptive technology.

Kreinin was hired by Sberbank in 2015.

The appointment of Dudina, who joined Sberbank in 2016, formalised her current de facto role as acting head of HR, which she took in December 2018. Previously, she had been senior managing director for business partnership in the HR service.
