  • An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia's Largest
    An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia’s Largest Public Companies Andrei Rakitin Milena Barsukova Arina Mazunova Translated from Russian August 2020 Key Results According to information disclosed by 109 of Russia’s largest public companies: • “Classic” board compositions of 11, nine, and seven seats prevail • The total number of persons on Boards of the companies under study is not as low as it might seem: 89% of all Directors were elected to only one such Board • Female Directors account for 12% and are more often elected to the audit, nomination, and remuneration committees than to the strategy committee • Among Directors, there are more “humanitarians” than “techies”, while the share of “techies” among chairs is greater than across the whole sample • The average age for Directors is 53, 56 for Chairmen, and 58 for Independent Directors • Generation X is the most visible on Boards, and Generation Y Directors will likely quickly increase their presence if the development of digital technologies continues • The share of Independent Directors barely reaches 30%, and there is an obvious lack of independence on key committees such as audit • Senior Independent Directors were elected at 17% of the companies, while 89% of Chairs are not independent • The average total remuneration paid to the Board of Directors is RUR 69 million, with the difference between the maximum and minimum being 18 times • Twenty-four percent of companies disclosed information on individual payments made to their Directors.

    Financial Officer Russia CFO Route to the Top 2018 edition A changing role for a maturing economy IntroductIon This report provides a fresh overview of Russia’s current serving genera- tion of chief financial officers. Our ongoing data analysis shows that the present cohort of professional CFOs at the largest publicly traded Russian companies is becoming more competitive and mature: » Managerial and professional capabilities are more valued than they were five to 10 years ago, when personal drive and ambition were more highly prized; » Companies prefer to appoint CFOs from the internal talent pool; » More CFOs are “first timers”: only 21% of current CFOs have previous experience in the role; » Average tenure increased by 14% in 2016 but levelled off in 2017; » CFOs are expected increasingly to play a more active part in commercial finance and to be capable of collaborating cross-functionally. These demands are proving especially challenging for many CFOs, and indeed represent the most commonly cited reason for departure from a post; » We note the continued professionalisation of the CFO role, including a wider recognition of the value of MBAs and qualifications such as those awarded by ACCA. russia cfo route to the top AGe The average age of CFOs at the largest Russian companies has increased from 44.7 years in 2015 to 45.4 in 2017.
