Childhood
Within the framework of the rules in force in a free economy, the names of the richest people on the planet are regularly published on the pages of the prestigious Forbes magazine. In the last decade, the names of women who are citizens of the Russian Federation have appeared on the pages of this magazine. According to the magazine for 2017, Ekaterina Sergeevna Ignatova is one of the ten most influential women in business. Without intellectual potential and strong-willed qualities, it is very difficult to achieve such results. Almost impossible.
The future businesswoman was born in the fall of 1968 in an intelligent Soviet family. Parents lived in Moscow. My father worked in the Ministry of Railways. Mother taught foreign languages at the university. The child grew up surrounded by love and care. From an early age, Katya demonstrated aptitude for foreign languages and mathematics. The girl studied well at school. She went in for sports and actively participated in amateur performances. The girl had an attractive appearance. Even in the tenth grade, Ignatova began an affair with a nice guy.
Professional activity
The young people rented an apartment and began to live separately from their parents, without formalizing their relationship. However, two years later, love melted, her husband went to distant lands, and Catherine was left to grieve with her little daughter. The situation was saved by my grandmother. She began to babysit her granddaughter, and the young mother decided to get an education at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers. It should be noted that as a student, Ignatova intensively practiced the use of foreign languages. She was fluent in English, German and French.
After receiving her diploma in 1994, Ignatova got a job as a translator at the Office of the President of the Russian Federation. At work, Ekaterina met Sergei Chemizov, who headed the state-owned company Rosoboronexport. In 2004, they started a family. From that moment on, Ignatova began to actively engage in business. Five years later, she acquired a controlling stake in the company that owns the Etazh restaurant chain. Then she bought one of the best beauty salons in the capital "Next".
Prospects and personal life
