At VTB.

Finally, FSB director Alexander Bortnikov managed to find a place for his unlucky son Denis Bortnikov somewhere. Bortnikov Jr., who is already more than forty years old, actually received a sinecure - he will be responsible for the regional network and medium-sized businesses in the Vneshtorgbank (VTB) group. These issues were previously dealt with by Mikhail Oseevsky, who headed Rostelecom in March.

“The supervisor of small and medium-sized businesses will be Denis Bortnikov from St. Petersburg, the supervision will be from St. Petersburg, he is a member of the board today, the group of small and medium-sized businesses will be located here, on the basis of the North-West Regional Center,” said the head of the Management of the Future at the conference “Management of the Future” at the Higher School of Management VTB (quote from Interfax). Bortnikov will oversee medium-sized businesses, the bank’s regional network and head the VTB North-West Center, the bank’s press service clarified.

The appointment has taken place; additional approval of Denis Bortnikov from the Central Bank is not required, since he is already a member of the VTB board, the bank’s press service says.

“Among the tasks set for Denis Bortnikov is the growth of overall business performance and the implementation of the tasks outlined in the VTB strategy,” the press service added. The press service did not comment on which candidates were still being considered to replace Oseevsky. Bortnikov will continue to lead the North-West regional center of VTB, the bank clarified.

Denis Bortnikov is the son of the director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) Alexander Bortnikov.

VTB North-West Regional Center is an independent structural unit of the bank’s parent organization, created in March 2011 on the basis of VTB North-West Bank, where Bortnikov worked as Deputy Chairman of the Board. According to the VTB NWRC, the volume of the division’s total loan portfolio in December 2016 was about 250 billion rubles, the volume of funds raised was about 300 billion rubles.

Bortnikov has extensive management experience in the banking business and great internal support, so the appointment was expected, says HR bp Managing Director Andrey Shcherbakov. Running a regional network requires organizational effort and strategy, says a St. Petersburg banker who asked not to be named. According to him, competition in regional markets is growing, including due to the development of technology, and VTB faces many challenges in this area. Bortnikov has 20 years of banking experience, he recalled.

The expansion of powers, according to Shcherbakov, will generally add significance to the North-Western regional center, which is important against the backdrop of the trend towards optimization in the banking sector. Managing a regional network in isolation from the decision-making center is quite difficult, the expert adds. He does not rule out the further relocation of the top manager to Moscow.

“It will not be easy for Denis Bortnikov to combine two positions,” believes a top manager of another bank. Now banks save more on personnel and when a top manager of a level similar to Oseevsky’s leaves, they try to assign his responsibilities to other members of the board; this is a common practice, says another Vedomosti source in the St. Petersburg banking market.

VTB, according to the Central Bank website, has 34 branches, including two abroad, four representative offices, 210 additional offices, five operational cash desks and 126 operational offices.

The regional network is an important part of the bank’s business, since it is it that sells banking services and serves bank clients. Despite the development of remote channels, most services are still provided only in offices, notes Frank Research Group CEO Yuri Gribanov.

As the Ruspres agency previously reported, Denis Bortnikov is 42 years old. He graduated from the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance. From 1996 to 2004 he worked at Promstroibank (in 2007 it became part of the VTB Group, renamed OJSC VTB Bank North-West), in 2004 he worked at Guta Bank (also part of the VTB Group), in 2005 - at "Vneshtorgbank retail services." In 2006, Bortnikov was appointed deputy manager of the VTB branch in St. Petersburg, in 2007 he became deputy chairman of the board of VTB North-West bank, and in 2010 - first deputy chairman of the board of VTB North-West. There is reason to believe that Bortnikov Jr. came to Guta Bank to facilitate its further takeover by VTB.

Head of the North-West Regional Center, Senior Vice President. Since November 2011 - member of the board of VTB Bank.

“VTB Bank is pleased to support the company in the development and production of high-quality Russian medicines, a priority from the point of view of import substitution, and to provide the range of financial services necessary for development,” Denis Bortnikov, a member of the board of VTB Bank, is quoted in the message.

Rosselkhozbank and sons

The appointment of children of high-ranking officials to top positions in state-owned companies has long become the norm in Russia. Since February 1, 2011, Denis Bortnikov, the son of FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, has been the Chairman of the Board of VTB North-West Bank. The vice-president of Vnesheconombank is Pyotr Fradkov, the son of Mikhail Fradkov, director of the Foreign Intelligence Service. Analyst Vladimir Pribylovsky laments that such practices are “more common in third world countries.” “Having a relative on the board of directors is a voice in the politics of the bank or corporation, which is always a good thing. Medvedev has not yet condemned the scheme for children to head companies with state shares,” the expert sneers.

Musketeers against the government

Bortnikov clan

Son, Denis Aleksandrovich Bortnikov, banker. Graduated from the St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance with a degree in national economics. In 1996-2004 worked at the St. Petersburg Industrial Construction Bank (PSB). In 2004-2005 - Advisor to the manager of the northwestern branch of Guta Bank. In 2005-06 - Deputy Manager of Vneshtorgbank Retail Services CJSC. In 2006-2007 - Deputy Branch Manager of VTB Bank in St. Petersburg. In 2007-2010 Deputy Chairman of the Board, 2010-2011 — First Deputy Chairman of the Board, since 2011 Chairman of the Board of OJSC VTB Bank North-West. There is reason to believe that after VTB acquired a controlling stake in Promstroybank and renamed the purchased structure to VTB North-West Bank, Denis Bortnikov initially planned a career in this company, and moved to Guta-Bank to contribute to his future takeover of VTB. However, Denis Bortnikov himself denies this.

VTB branch in St. Petersburg has lost its manager

The branch manager was dismissed at his own request on Monday by agreement of the parties. Currently, Denis Bortnikov, Malyshev’s former deputy, has been appointed acting manager. Presumably, the manager’s place could be taken by the head of one of the city branches of VTB North-West. It is likely that the new manager will be a technical figure. Market participants note that in the process of integration of VTB North-West and VTB, managers in the St. Petersburg bank will be freed up, and there will be no personnel problems. Experts believe that the compensation of a branch manager can be $10-15 thousand, of which the salary is $7-9 thousand. The salary of bank top managers in St. Petersburg is about $10 thousand per month, growing by 20-25% per year.

The son of FSB director Alexander Bortnikov, Denis, took over the post of chairman of the board of VTB North-West

Denis Bortnikov is the son of Vladimir Putin’s colleague in the state security agencies, Alexander Bortnikov, who now heads the Federal Security Service. He began his career as a banker in 1996 at the Industrial Construction Bank (PSB). And he went from a specialist to the first deputy chairman, recalls Olyunin. According to him, Bortnikov is a worthy leader, he performed his work efficiently and creatively and ensured the implementation of the plan, was involved in a wide range of areas and is respected by the team. Bortnikov has a broad outlook, he has worked in different positions and has a clear understanding of both corporate and retail business, says another banker who worked with him at PSB. “He is a very balanced person, he probably had less ambition than his competitors, which led to his appointment,” he adds. “The Supervisory Board considered that at the important final stage of the merger of VTB North-West with VTB, the professional and human qualities of Denis Alexandrovich will be especially in demand,” a representative of the group explained to VTB.

VTB North-West said goodbye to the market

One of the largest players in corporate lending, VTB North-West Bank, ceased to exist. Instead, clients in the North-West will be dealt with by the VTB North-West Center, a new structure that is part of the VTB Group, and it will be led by the son of the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, Denis. Analysts suggest that banks will reorganize in connection with the upcoming revival of the corporate lending market.

VTB has decided on the head of the branch

A new chairman of the board has been appointed to the North-Western subsidiary of the bank. The North-West regional center of VTB will be headed by the first deputy chairman of the board of VTB North-West Denis Bortnikov, the son of the director of the FSB of Russia Alexander Bortnikov. The reorganization of VTB North-West in the form of merger with VTB Bank OJSC will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2011.

Golden children of Russia

A little over a month ago, the son of the director of the FSB of Russia, Denis Bortnikov, was appointed chairman of the board of VTB North-West Bank. This example once again confirms the trend: children of high-ranking officials are increasingly becoming heads of large banks or companies with state participation. And if you look at what the offspring of governors do, it turns out that almost every second head of the region has children who are real businessmen with a lot of assets behind them.

“The VTB NWRC now has more powers and resources than VTB North-West had”

The offspring of the heads of the FSB, SVR and FSO are making rapid commercial careers

For all his youth, the son of Vladimir Putin’s colleague in the state security agencies, the current director of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, is a very old bank employee. In the distant 1990s, when his father was involved in economic security in St. Petersburg, 22-year-old Denis Bortnikov worked at Promstroibank for local oligarch Vladimir Kogan, who was supervised by the young banker’s father. After the sale of PSB to Vneshtorgbank, the renaming of this structure into VTB North-West Bank and the departure of businessman Kogan to public service in the Ministry of Regional Development, Denis Bortnikov did not get lost. It is not difficult to understand that VTB President Andrei Kostin, given the specifics of this institution’s handling of federal money, requires the equally disinterested support of the Director of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bortnikov, in neutralizing potential criminal investigations.

However, Denis Bortnikov himself denies this.

Closest partners

In 1996-2004 Denis Bortnikov worked under the leadership of the owner of Promstroibank, Vladimir Kogan. After the sale of PSB shares to VTB Bank, Kogan moved to public service, remaining the owner of large property.

As deputy director of the Federal Agency for Construction and Housing and Communal Services (Rosstroy) and head of the department of the Ministry of Regional Development, he until recently supervised construction of a complex of protective structures (KPS) in St. Petersburg from floods, the directorate of which was headed in October-December 2005.

The media claimed that in fact, the former vice-president of the St. Petersburg Banking House CJSC, owned by Vladimir Kogan, and his cousin Yuri Sverdlov, who has been a member of the State Duma since 2007, actively participated in the project for a long time.

During an audit by the Accounts Chamber, the funds allocated for the project were almost doubled; the cost of the dam increased from 55 to 109 billion rubles.

The main patrons of Vladimir Kogan are considered to be former Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and the current head of the Russian Presidential Administration Sergei Naryshkin, who worked at Promstroibank.

At least he managed to find a place for his unlucky son Denis Bortnikov somewhere. Bortnikov Jr., who is already more than forty years old, actually received a sinecure - he will be responsible for the regional network and medium-sized businesses in the Vneshtorgbank (VTB) group. I have dealt with these issues before Mikhail Oseevsky, who headed the Rostelecom .
