The Russian economy in the current historical period is based on three pillars - natural resources, foreign investment and effective owners. This type of configuration was formed in the 90s of the last century. The metallurgical industry, together with gas and oil production, forms a significant share of the state budget. The owner of one of the largest metallurgical complexes "Severstal" is Alexey Alexandrovich Mordashov.
Way up
Each person at a certain stage of his development chooses a profession and a life partner. This formula is as old as the world. It is no secret that a significant part of young people do not have clear professional guidelines. Rare exceptions to this wording only confirm the general rule. Alexey Mordashov from school wanted to become an economist. What circumstances or people prompted the sixth grader to this idea is not so important. It is important to note that the person has achieved the goal.
Alexey was born on September 26, 1965 in a family of workers of the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant. From a young age, the child was taught to work, accuracy and obligation. Any work must be done in good faith. Elders - respect. The weak - do not offend. Mordashov's biography developed in a traditional sequence. At school, the boy did well and was often praised for diligence and diligence. I got along with my classmates. I didn’t let myself be offended.
After completing his secondary education, he went to Leningrad and became a student at the Institute of Engineering and Economics. During this period, perestroika and democratization began throughout the country. In the course of his studies he met the now famous Anatoly Chubais. The reformer gave a course of lectures on the fundamentals of the market economy. Mordashov listened attentively and memorized all the ideas and approaches that the lecturer talked about. In 1988, Alexey received a diploma with honors and returned to his native Cherepovets.
CEO
Alexey Mordashov began his dizzying career as an ordinary economist at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant. Circumstances developed in such a way that in 1990 the young specialist was sent for an internship in Austria. More precisely - to one of the steel plants. After returning home, Mordashov took the position of deputy director of the plant for economics. By that time, privatization had begun in the country.
Alexey Mordashov knew well how ordinary metallurgists live and what techniques can be used to achieve their goals. As a result of a precisely calculated and promptly carried out company, he received a controlling stake in his personal property. Having received the giant enterprise under management, Mordashov carried out a large-scale reconstruction of facilities and increased the capitalization of Severstal. In turn, this allowed us to occupy its own segment in the world ferrous metals market.
Mordashov's personal life cannot be called successful. The first marriage broke up through his fault. Husband and wife drifted apart and started a legal battle, which was watched by the whole country. The old love turned into outright dislike. The second marriage turned out to be more durable. However, from time to time there are rumors about "spree" of the owner of "Severstal", who does not miss the opportunity to get into the company of girls with low social responsibility.
