A lot of work conducted by Sberbank CIB is related to education,
charity, and private equity funds, said well-known Russian businessman
of Armenian descent Ruben Vardanian in an interview with Novaya
Gazeta, commenting on Russian Sberbank CIB plans.
`These all are projects of international level. I generally
successfully establish good communication between people of different
generations, nationalities and views. We still have projects in the
framework of Sberbank that we are discussing with German Gref,' he
said.
Vardanyan added, he also has a lot to do in his first homeland,
Armenia. Thus, unlike Russia, which gives a lot of possibilities and
where the effect of the efforts can be achieved in a decade, the small
size of Armenia allows seeing the results of the efforts very fast.
`Take, for example, the project of reconstruction of [Armenian] Tatev
monastery, in the framework of which there will be created a tourist,
religious, cultural, and historical complex. In 2010, we already
completed the construction of `Wings of Tatev' ropeway,' he said.
Vardanyan said that since the opening of ropeway the number of
tourists visiting the monastery has grown tenfold. Last year, in
particular, the ropeway served about a hundred thousand people, while
in the nearest city in the past two years, 10 new hotels were opened.
`We expect to complete the project by 2017, when there will be 1111-th
anniversary of Tatev,' he said.
Ruben Vardanian is the co-Head at Sberbank CIB, Head of the SKOLKOVO
business school's Brand and Fundraising Committee. He has worked at
Troika Dialog since it was founded and has been the CEO since 1992.
