According to the press service of "Airplane," the candidacy of Andrei Ivanenko for the post of head of the group was approved by the Council of Directors unanimously based on the results of a specially developed succession program from among internal and external candidates.

The unanimous support of Andrey Ivanenko's candidacy by all members of the Board of Directors and the current CEO is due, including the fact that the last 4.5 years Andrei was one of the most important managers in the top management team, which transformed the company into the leader of the Russian real estate market, a digital developer and brought the group to the first place in terms of current construction in Russia, the group's website says on February 19, 2024.

The press service of Samolet emphasized that under the leadership of Anton Elistratov, the company increased the number of regions of presence, significantly expanded the team, demonstrating multiple growth in EBITDA and capitalization, and also successfully overcame large crisis periods without slowing down growth such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Elistratov will remain on the group's board of directors.^[1]
