Management Board

Vladimir A. Chubar
Chairman of the Management Board

Born on 18 July 1980 in Bezhetsk, Tver region
Education The Finance Academy under the Government of the Russian Federation (2005)

Vladimir Chubar has been keen on mathematics since childhood, and, most likely, this was what predetermined the close links of his career with the financial sector. His choice to work in the banking sector was made after graduating from Moscow Banking School of the Bank of Russia: "It gave a kind of impetus to pursue a career in a financial institution and to study at the Finance Academy". He’s been with CBM since 2004. "A fifth-year student in the Academy, I got a job in the Bank’s Financial Division and in less than four years rose from a junior position to a Division Director", tells Mr. Chubar. His creed is to keep reaching further up: "There’s nothing difficult, everything’s possible. You just have to keep moving forward, no matter what. Any stop is a step back. Opting for it, expect to be bypassed". This standpoint has been largely shaped by sports. "I used to play much volleyball and basketball. Sports have both infused me with a sound competitive spirit, and taught me to analyze my actions", says Vladimir Chubar.

At leisure, he still plays "for himself" and reads a lot. "I like Rex Stout’s detective stories. They are written in a spellbinding and humorous way, while also being full of suspense". Another passion is travelling. "Since recently I’ve come to like going to towns around Moscow, to feel the flavours of local life. At first sight, it is very close by and doesn’t really evoke curiosity, but in fact just beyond the boundaries of Moscow you can find many interesting things. It’s all about the itch for discoveries", confesses Mr. Chubar.

Dmitry A. Eremin
First Deputy Chairman of the Management Board

Born on 14 December 1978 in Moscow
Education The Academy of Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (2001), Moscow Institute of Economics and Finance (2003)

Dmitry Eremin believes a career may well start with experience in various fields to facilitate the right choice. Interestingly, this choice was not a hard one for him: "I began with foreign intelligence, then worked in a small bank "Raschetny Dom". He’s been with CREDIT BANK OF MOSCOW since 2002. “As the corporate segment was where I rose professionally and got market experience, this business has always had an appeal for me". According to Mr. Eremin, the corporate banking business will be the main driver of CBM’s income: "By the year-end, two thirds of the loan portfolio will be attributable to corporates". Ambitious plans rest on a robust standpoint: "You have to set goals and achieve them. No need to bend before the changing world, let it bend before us instead", Mr. Eremin quotes a well-known Russian song. However, no use overestimating yourself, either, notes Dmitry: "I keep coming across juniors who think too high of themselves. They are not as bright as they try to look". Dmitry teaches his children to judge fairly their own abilities. Will they follow in his footsteps? "My son will likely work in the banking sector, but I’m not sure about my daughter", smiles Dmitry. He spends all of his free time with the family. "We like staying in our country house", he says.

Svetlana V. Sass
Member of the Management Board, Chief Accountant

Born on 1 April 1965 in Moscow
Education Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (1987)

Svetlana Sass works in banking sector since 1992: "My job is interesting. A lot of changes happen all the time. No way to get bogged down with routine". Before joining CBM, Svetlana worked at Russian Universal Investment Bank, Impexbank, Russian Credit and Holding Credit banks. She has great plans with Credit Bank of Moscow: "A new IT system is about to be implemented, to which the bookkeeping will be switched over. It will be possible and necessary to improve the accounting system by making it more integrated into the entire banking process".

Svetlana Sass rejects flatly the ‘woman’s place is in the kitchen’ cliché. Contrary to that, she notes, today business women are much more successful than their male colleagues: "Age and gender may only matter for the first impression, but then people will judge you from your competences. Being a woman can only hinder me where emotions can’t be held back. They are allowable within reason, but business requires a cool head".

Svetlana thinks the fair sex has a restriction in business as most women are not ready to sacrifice family for career. She tries to spend all her free time with her loved ones: "We go to the theatre, exhibitions, countryside, and barbecues with friends".

Darya A. Galkina
Deputy Chairperson of the Management Board

Born on 20 June 1981 in Moscow
Education Moscow Academy of Economics and Law (2003)

Darya decided to become a lawyer while still at school, so she went to a specialized lyceum. She graduated from the university with honors. Before joining CREDIT BANK OF MOSCOW, Darya worked at Integral bank. "Since the bank was small, I managed to study the bank lawyer’s job from various perspectives such as lending, operations and litigations, and identified the most interesting areas for me", she tells.

Darya joined CREDIT BANK OF MOSCOW in 2006 as a senior credit support lawyer in the Legal Department. "I think I made no mistake with the choice of occupation, because any bank lawyer is not confined to his subject alone but is free to expand his outlook on all the issues the bank faces. While making due diligence on other companies, we get to know how they operate, what peculiarities exist in that area", says Mrs. Galkina.

Darya believes the key success factor is to care about what you do, who you work with and what’s going on around you. "You can’t achieve what you don’t care about. You will never win over those who you neglect. Interest in the surrounding developments helps find effective, creative and innovative ways to solve any problems".

Darya admits she likes working in an ever developing team, enjoys participating in new projects and living a vivid and eventful professional life. "My colleagues are no longer just guys with whom to tackle working issues. The Bank is where I’ve found many friends and soulmates", she says.

In her free time, Darya Galkina prefers to travel with her family and friends. She likes ethnic music which she believes very clearly reflects the spirit of various peoples. She enjoys photography, cycling and alpine skiing.
