How it all began...
There is no doubt that Kirill is passionate
about his work within the wind industry
and this becomes abundantly evident
when recounting his story of how he
arrived at where he is today...
Oil and Gas experience
Hailing from Russia with extensive
experience in the Oil and Gas industry he
was no stranger to working in extremes –
literally. A field which demands strength
of character and a dogged determination
to succeed, but it has not all been plain
sailing.
Arriving in London
Kirill came to London to study for
a Masters degree in Law with the
aim of advancing his career in law.
Understanding of English law is a key
expertise not only in law firms, but also
in Russian companies with international
ambitions and is indeed one of the major
exports from Britain to Russia.
Changes of direction
While studying he started considering
alternatives. His friends, alumni of the
London Business School, advised him to
take a shot at MBA. He graduated from
LBS Executive MBA in 2008 with the
backdrop of Lehman collapse and the
global financial crisis, and went to work for
OGN straight away.
During his first two years he dealt with
a number of things that were closely
related to his legal background, including
the acquisition of the company’s new
construction facility in Tyneside and the
restructuring of the group.
But since 2010 the group’s strategy in
renewable energy markets has become
his primary occupation.
