Natalya Kasperskaya in her youth. Natalya kasperskaya biography. "The driving force" of Russia according to the Financial Times

Natalya Kasperskaya is one of the most successful women in Russia, she took 2nd place in the list of the 50 most influential business women Russia according to the magazine "Finance" for 2009. She has big business and four children. She managed to survive the divorce and become happy again. About Natalia and will be discussed in a new article heading « « .

Natalya Kasperskaya is a very famous person, therefore, as is now customary, the main thing is read on wikipedia: Born in Moscow in 1966. Parents are typical representatives of the "technical intelligentsia". only child was born late by those standards: his father was already 46 years old, his mother - 30. Parents are engineers, worked in "closed" institutes, always busy.

We all come from childhood

She studied at a simple Soviet school. She was an ordinary schoolgirl, though very "socially active": "was engaged social activities and was even a member of the regional pioneer headquarters. In general, trips to the pioneer headquarters are one of the most vivid childhood memories: we were always inventing something there - we staged performances, made propaganda teams, traveled around the country.

In addition, I was involved in sports, enough long time I played basketball at the Youth Sports School. In winter, she went skiing in the Moscow region, and in summer she was fond of swimming. She also collected stamps, badges and Soviet coins, painted portraits of her friends and sang in the school choir. She composed poems for all sorts of skits and school concerts.

But sometimes it was sad, there were not enough brothers or sisters ... Then I thought that I myself would have three children.

In an interview, Natalya Kasperskaya said that she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian: “I really enjoyed working with animals. I even seriously thought about choosing such a profession, but when I moved to high school, I started having completely insurmountable problems with chemistry. And since my parents are “techies”, there was no special alternative. Naturally, I was advised to enter a technical university.”

last two school years studied at the Physics and Mathematics School at the Moscow Aviation Institute, then entered the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering (MIEM) at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. Later it turned out that Natalya's vocation is still not mathematics, in her warehouse she is more of a humanist. Although mathematics was given in exactly the same way as other subjects and problems were solved without problems, but I couldn’t invent some kind of algorithm, prove a theorem without memorizing it before.

Institute and family in one bottle

At the institute, Natasha studied with varying degrees of success. Thanks to her school habit, she studied well, and in the first three years she studied diligently, as a rule, she earned a scholarship. Then the habits began to change and the university was graduated in 1989 without a red diploma.

In interviews, Natalia often says that she would like to spend more time with her family, but business is another child of hers that needs to be looked after all the time. At the same time, Natalya believes that it is children who give a person an understanding that someone needs him, that there is someone to work for. And Natalya calls children her true value.

Vodianov-Arno family

Antoine first saw Natalya in 2008 - at that time she was married to British lord Justin Portman. Arno then headed the communications department of the Louis Vuitton fashion house, and Vodianova starred for advertising campaign this brand. For Antoine, it was love at first sight.

Her chosen one was the English photographer Charles Thompson. They met in New York in 2000, and in 2002 they got married in Yasnaya Polyana. In choosing the venue for the celebration, apparently, Olga's passion for Tolstoy's work played a big role.

The family loves to travel around Russia - they were in the Tver region, in Vladimir, in Suzdal, they love to look for old dilapidated buildings. According to Charles, he sees in them layers of previous realities superimposed on each other. The whole family speaks excellent Russian.

Charles is still a professional photographer. Olga is a co-owner of Tissus Tartares, a designer fabric company.

Beautiful and large - on the Day of love, family and fidelity was last modified: August 9th, 2017 by Polina Rtishcheva

She was born on February 5, 1966 in Moscow. As a child, Natalya favored animals and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but categorically did not work out with chemistry at school. But everything was in perfect order with mathematics, and her parents - a mother, a design engineer, and a physico-mathematical father-candidate - prophesied a great future for Natalya on a technical path. Even before entering the institute, Natalia showed herself to be a leader - she was engaged in active pioneering and social activities.

After listening to her parents, Kaspersky entered the specialty "Applied Mathematics" of the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering. In 1989 she received her diploma. Subsequently, she received a bachelor's degree from the Open University in the UK, majoring in Business.

Before going into sales and management, Natalya worked for several years at the Central Scientific and Design Bureau of Moscow as a private researcher. While still a student, she met the talented programmer Evgeny Kaspersky, and when in 1994 the opportunity arose to go to work at the Kami Science and Technology Center - the one where Evgeny began his career - Kaspersky seized the opportunity. In "Kami" she took up an unusual activity for herself. At first, Natalia worked as a sales manager in the computer equipment department, but soon she was transferred to manage the anti-virus development department, where Evgeny Kaspersky worked on AVP.

By 1997 - when Kaspersky's anti-virus product began to be sold, and things at the Kami Research and Development Center had completely deteriorated - Natalya raised the issue of separating and creating her own company. Eugene Kaspersky at first grumbled and did not want any changes - they say, they will only interfere with the work on the project. But Natalia still persuaded her husband.

In 1997, the Kaspersky Lab company appeared. Evgeniy acted according to the principle of "the idea ... of the initiator" - he threw all organizational responsibility on Kaspersky and returned to software development. At first, Natalya Kaspersky had a hard time. But she managed. And in 1998, hired technical, commercial and financial directors came to her aid.

In 1998, the family of Natalia and Evgeny fell apart under the pressure of everyday squabbles. This did not seem to affect the company. Until 2007, the leadership and responsibility for the activity of Kaspersky Lab in the market lay mainly on the shoulders of CEO Natalya Kaspersky. In 2007, as a major shareholder, she was elected to the post of head of the board of directors, while Evgeny took the place of general director.

In 2004, in parallel with her work at the "Laboratory", Natalia began to develop another area of ​​activity - the development of data protection systems in corporate intranet networks (DLP systems). After 3 years, Kaspersky took the post of CEO of the InfoWatch company she founded, a developer and distributor of such systems. Today, this company has a huge potential for expansion into Western markets. In Russia, InfoWatch became the first in its field.

In Russia, the successful work of Natalya Kaspersky was noted in 2008. She was ranked 4th in the top 10 most successful businesswomen in the country. By this time, Natalia already had many awards from foreign IT publications. In the same year, Kaspersky was elected a member of the Russian-German Chamber of Commerce. By the way, in 2010, Natalya Kasperskaya won the second place among the best top managers in the Russian IT industry.

In business, Natalia appreciates teamwork. As a leader, she knows how to listen to the opinions of specialists before committing rash acts. At the same time, she does not accept all kinds of team building and other “nonsense” inspired from abroad. Work with Russian programmers requires a completely different approach, and Kaspersky is aware of this. In the "Laboratory" developers were never chastised for being late, but they had to do their part on time.

Married to Evgeny Kaspersky, Natalya became the mother of two children. After the divorce, she began to live with a prominent IT figure Igor Ashmanov. By 2011, she became the mother of two more children. The last daughter Masha was born in March 2009. A month earlier, fans of Kaspersky Anti-Virus had presented Natalya with a comic list of possible names for the child, each of which somehow related to the anti-virus area.

Natalia Kasperskaya knows two well foreign languages- German and English. Often travels on vacation ski resorts, is interested in tourism and travel. Natalia plays the guitar well.

Biography

Natalya Ivanovna Shtutser (later Kasperskaya) was born on February 5, 1966. Parents are typical representatives of the “technical intelligentsia”. The only child was born late by those standards: the father was already 46 years old, the mother - 30. Parents are engineers, worked in "closed" institutes, always busy.

For the last two school years she studied at the Physics and Mathematics School at the Moscow Aviation Institute, then entered the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering (MIEM) at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics.

1986: Acquaintance with Evgeny Kaspersky

In 1994, she came to work at the Kami Research and Development Center, where she headed the AVP anti-virus project.

1997: Co-founder of Kaspersky Lab

In 1997, Natalia convinced her husband to start his own company and make the name a brand. The founding father worked technical part. Natalya Kasperskaya became the CEO of Kaspersky Lab and was engaged in sales, personnel and access to international markets.

Six people initially worked in Kaspersky Lab, but gradually it grew to international group companies headquartered in Moscow, ten foreign representative offices and a staff of more than 500 people. To questions like: “What is the success of the company?”, “Who did more for success?” etc. Natalia was responsible for her life dozens of times. The company came at the right time in right place, very successful - there was just a growth of the market, that is, the market was still new, this is the first. Secondly, in Russia it was generally unknown, that is, the Kasperskys, in fact, were the pioneers in this sense in the field of software. The third is that the competitors also did not know where to go, that is, everyone wandered blindly and made just as many mistakes. All were on an equal footing.

In October 2007, Natalya Kasperskaya became the company's CEO and sole owner of InfoWatch, a developer of systems for protecting confidential information from insider threats.

2011: Sale of a part of a share in Kaspersky Lab

On January 20, 2011, it became known that the American direct investment fund General Atlantic acquired a large stake in Kaspersky Lab. This is the first time in the history of an anti-virus developer that a professional institutional investor has entered the company.

The parties do not disclose either the size of the stake in Kaspersky Lab acquired by the Americans or the amount paid, but they report that upon completion of the transaction, General Atlantic will become the second largest shareholder of the Lab. The largest shareholder of the company will remain Evgeny Kaspersky, who has a controlling stake.

Part of the shares transferred to the General Atlantic fund previously belonged to one of the company's former shareholders, the other part, which Evgeny Buyakin called "symbolic", was issued additionally. According to CNews, Natalya Kasperskaya, co-founder and chairman of the Board of Directors of Laboratoriya, acted as the main seller of the shares. Shares of Eugene Kaspersky did not participate in the deal.

Natalya Kasperskaya told CNews that the share of the new investor in the "Laboratory" will be "less" than 20%. She maintains a substantial stake in the company and has no plans to step down as chairman of the board of directors, "unless the shareholders decide otherwise," she said.

She plans to invest the proceeds in her own projects. This is a developer of solutions for leak protection Infowatch, a company "Nanosemantics", which is engaged in semantic analysis writing, and the Kribrum project, which studies the reputation of companies by analyzing their mentions on the Internet and other media.

The initiator of the deal was General Atlantic: its Executive Director John Bernstein says that the fund has been looking for a manufacturer of protective investment solutions for a long time and "approached Kaspersky Lab about a year ago with a proposal for cooperation."

According to the source of the agency, the motive for the crime of the Savelyevs and their friends was the desire to pay off the ransom received for loans made in one of the banks.

The attackers searched the Internet for a potential victim for ransom. Their choice fell on Ivan Kaspersky after they found his home and work addresses on his Vkontakte page.

At the same time, according to the Kommersant newspaper, the kidnapping was organized by a repeatedly convicted "professional criminal", and the attackers followed the young man for several months, choosing a scheme for committing a crime.

Interlocutors of LifeNews said that the kidnapping was carried out "unprofessionally". At about 8:15 a.m., Ivan was filmed by surveillance cameras in the Strogino metro station closest to his place of work, and at about 9 a.m., the kidnappers forced him to call his relatives and hand over the terms of a ransom of 3 million euros.

The second evidence of the unprofessionalism of the criminals, law enforcement officers called the content of the prisoner in the same house in the garden partnership "Grove" near Sergiev Posad, where they lived themselves.

• On the evening of April 21, 2011, LifeNews reported that a ransom was paid to the kidnappers of Ivan Kaspersky, the amount of which was not disclosed. After the prisoner was released, law enforcement sources said the media had been misinformed to appease the kidnappers.

In an interview with RSN, Natalya Kasperskaya said that her son was not tortured and was kept handcuffed and locked in a bathhouse. The kidnappers constantly changed the phone numbers from which they made ransom calls. Till law enforcement engaged in liberation young man, she and her husband "sat on Petrovka in a separate room and waited for the kidnapper's call." On the last day, the offender did not get in touch, and the parents of I.Kaspersky found out that everything was over, after the information appeared in the media.

“On Sunday, at Easter, we were still waiting for a call, but we already saw that the operatives were increasingly conferring without our participation, they were clearly preparing for something,” says Ashmanov. “This is a very dangerous moment when the vectors diverge: the operas need to grab the kidnappers, and the parents need to return the kidnapped child alive and unharmed.” After lunch, the operatives said that there would be no more calls, the kidnappers were identified and caught, now they are going after Ivan, who is no longer in danger. The operation ended in the evening. Ivan was released. Five participants in the abduction were detained (three are members of the same family), four of them are now under arrest, an investigation is underway. Evgeny and Natalya Kasperskaya with Ashmanov were invited to the office of the head of the department, congratulated and offered to celebrate happy event vodka with coarsely chopped sausage and cheese. Ivan's mother saw Ivan only at 4 o'clock in the morning, before that he was taken testimony.

• According to the official information of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, Ivan Kaspersky was released from the hands of the kidnappers only on Sunday, April 24, 2011. By this time, his location had already been located on a working mobile phone. This information has been made public official representative the capital's police department Viktor Biryukov. According to law enforcement officers, Ivan Kaspersky's condition is "satisfactory."

According to the official information of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the release was carried out as a result of a military operation by officers of the FSB, the MUR and special forces. The operation in the area of ​​Sergiev Posad "passed without a single shot being fired."

The kidnappers had an appointment to hand over the ransom in Moscow, where the Saveliev family and one of their accomplices went. The cars they were driving were stopped to check their documents, and the perpetrators were detained.

At the same time, another capture group entered the territory of the garden where the prisoner was kept. Ivan Kaspersky was found in the building of the bathhouse, where he was guarded by another accomplice of the Saveliev family.

Ashmanov did not rule out that the ultimate goal of the bandits was not a ransom at all.

“I think they wanted to put pressure on Evgeny Kaspersky or Natalya, the shareholders of Kaspersky Lab,” he argues. “Perhaps we never heard the true demands.”

2012: Purchase of 16% in the German antivirus company G Data

On October 15, 2012 it became known that Natalya Kasperskaya owning InfoWatch holding acquired 16.8% of stocks of the German anti-virus company G Data Software AG.

The shares were bought from several former minority shareholders, in particular from a Berlin-based venture capital investment company. On October 23, at the annual meeting of GData shareholders, Natalia Kasperskaya will be elected to the board of directors of the German company.

The cooperation between Natalia Kaspersky and G Data began in 1996, when the co-founder of the German company Kai Figge offered Natalia a partnership at the CeBIT exhibition in Hannover. Then Natalya headed the anti-virus company Kaspersky Lab, and the two anti-virus manufacturers agreed on technological cooperation.

As Natalya Kasperskaya herself stated, she has been watching G Data for many years and believes that she "deserves more international success." “In a few years, G Data has made a major technological breakthrough. As a member of the Board of Directors of G Data, I will be committed to building the company's outstanding reputation for international market, and I also want to bring my knowledge and experience in the anti-virus industry to the company,” Natalia said.

As the press service of InfoWatch commented on Tadviser, the company has long looked aside European companies, and this acquisition fits into the plans for promotion in this market. Moreover, this is not the last acquisition, but the press service refused to give more detailed comments. Further plans to increase the package in G data are also unknown, as well as the cost of the acquisition.

Quotes

• About Evgeny Kaspersky as a manager- Kaspersky is not a manager. He is engaged in other activities that have little to do with the formal position of "CEO". Since Eugene is the main shareholder of the company, he can appoint himself to any desired position.

• About the crisis at Kaspersky Lab- Unfortunately, over the past 4 years, the Lab has focused its portfolio of products (in fact) in the field of protection for Windows quite strongly ... The problem is that modern technologies they are developing quite quickly - new platforms appear, under which there are either no viruses, or they are very rare. They need new types of protection… Another threat to the market is free antiviruses, which, although gradually, are gaining more and more popularity ... The third problem that I would pay attention to is the so-called. targeted attacks. Those. attacks with a specific target. For example, special Trojans written for Alfa-Bank systems. Antiviruses are powerless against such threats. We need new solutions. I do not rule out that they will come not from old market players, but from newcomers ... At one time, I convinced Kaspersky and other shareholders that it was necessary to attract external capital just for the purpose of buying businesses and technologies in new interesting areas. We even managed to attract an investor, but, unfortunately, Kaspersky blocked the idea of ​​development through acquisitions... To be honest, I do not see new growth drivers within the company that would give LK the opportunity to organically grow faster than the market. Consequently, the business growth rate will continue to decline.
• About own employment- Basically, I am engaged in the affairs of the company. Another 2-3 times a week there are questions about the Kribrum project - this is such a project for automatic monitoring social networks, Infowatch has a solid share in it. On the third spot goes Nanosemantics is a company that works in the field of artificial intelligence. She is also known for her "mass" project - http://www.iii.ru. Now we are reworking it quite a lot and by the summer we plan to roll out something completely new. And last week, for example, the Cebit exhibition took all my time ... I have a couple of small projects, but I take much less personal part in them.
• About my teachers- I consider the head of Kami - Alexey Borisovich Remizov - my first business teacher. My second husband Igor Ashmanov, who has whole line high technology businesses.
• About the female president of Russia- We have a lot of women in the government. Two ministers and a vice-speaker, that's not counting a bunch of lower-ranking officials. Perhaps the next president will be a woman. Just for this, a worthy candidate should (more precisely, should) appear. So far, there are no such politicians on our horizon.
• On the meeting with Vladimir Putin- Just three weeks ago, several representatives of the IT community of software developers met with the Prime Minister in the Novosibirsk Academgorodok and proposed a number of measures to stimulate domestic software development. The prime minister accepted our proposals, and, as far as I know, relevant instructions have already been given to the ministries.
