Sberbank, Russia’s biggest lender, has made two hires to run its business in the health sector, appointed one of its staff members as head of government relations (GR), and is parting company with the head of an investment subsidiary.
Both newcomers come from the Russian government.
Olga Golodets, a former deputy prime minister who left the cabinet last month during President Vladimir Putin’s government revamp, is joining Sberbank as deputy CEO and will exercise general oversight of health sector projects.
She will also be in charge of digital GR and have the task of bolstering “Sberbank’s position as a leading digitisation driver in the country”, Sberbank said in a statement.
Areas she oversaw as deputy prime minister included healthcare, welfare, social and cultural affairs, sports and tourism.
Her employment by Sberbank is still awaiting approval by the central bank.
David Melik-Guseinov, who headed a Health Ministry department in 2019-2020, has been hired as chief executive for the health industry and director of Sberbank’s Medical Products and Services centre, according to a Sberbank statement.
Oleg Semenenko has been moved from the position of manager of the public sector department to the post of head of GR, the lender said in an anotehr statement. In this role he replaces Andrei Sharov, who left Sberbank at the end of last year.
Before coming to Sberbank, Semenenko spent six years as an investment banker, a period that included a senior job at former Russian brokerage Troika Dialog, which was bought out by Sberbank in 2011.
Ashot Khachaturyants is leaving as CEO of Sberbank Capital, a subsidiary specialising in investment in real estate, industrial and transport projects.
His deputy Vagan Gasparyan steps in as interim CEO.
Khachaturyants “has decided to pursue other career opportunities outside Sberbank Group”, Sberbank said in a statement.
