Ilya Oprenko, head of the VIP client division, left Tinkoff

The head of the department for working with wealthy clients of Tinkoff Private (a division of Tinkoff-Bank), Ilya Oprenko, left his position and left the credit institution. About it “Interfax” said a representative of Tinkoff Bank. Later information Vedomosti confirmed by Mr. Oprenko himself.

“Ilya Oprenko left Tinkoff Private to develop his own project outside the Tinkoff Group. The team that has been working since the launch of the direction will continue to manage the development of Tinkoff Private,” a representative of the credit institution told Interfax.

In a conversation with Vedomosti, Ilya Oprenko spoke about plans to develop his own international fintech project in the field of private capital management and headquarters in the UAE. According to him, it will be an IT platform for wealthy clients managing capital. “I see that independent managers are actively entering the market. Globally, they account for up to 40% of assets under management. And they do not have any infrastructure and a single convenient platform solution for money management,” he added.

Oleg Oprenko, 39, took over the Private Banking division at Tinkoff Bank in June 2021. According to information ForbesPrior to joining Tinkoff Private, Mr. Oprenko worked at the Swiss bank UBS and also headed the corporate finance and M&A department at Sberbank Private Banking.
