“There are three scenarios,” says Sergei Vorobiev, managing partner of Russia’s branch of international head-hunting company Ward Howell and chairman of the 2015 Club. “That Russia goes to the dogs and we leave; that Russia muddles through and we stay, but our children leave; and that Russia becomes a normal place where our children want to stay. We realized that we would have to actively work towards the last scenario.” At the start, 10 men, who had become successful either competing within or against foreign companies, formed the club. These are not oligarchs, but all the members are the heads or vice-presidents of well-known and respected companies and what Vorobiev calls “die-hard free marketers’”. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
