Mr. Ovchinnikov announced his resignation at the congress of partners and managers. “This is the 11th time I’m going out to speak at our convention and I want to say that today is my last public appearance as CEO at our conventions,” the businessman said. The convention was broadcast on YouTube.
Alena Tikhova will take up her duties from the beginning of 2024. She will develop international markets, including in Dubai. Fedor Ovchinnikov will remain a shareholder of the company and will be a member of the Board of Directors. The entrepreneur wants to develop the Drinkit and Doner 42 networks.
Mr. Ovchinnikov announced stepping down as CEO in January 2023. He explained this by the fact that companies need to separate “from the founding parents” in order to continue to develop.
