2023: Leaving Avito

On April 14, 2023, Avito announced the departure of Vladimir Pravdivy from the post of CEO of the company. It will now be run by board members.

According to the Truth himself, he wants to focus on issues of his own health and family. The management of the company will take over the board, which includes all top managers, including managing directors of verticals. Former Deputy General Director Ivan Guz will be responsible for business development at the corporate level, and Avito Financial Director Sergei Piven will be responsible for business support.

I have been running Avito for more than 9 years - a lifetime of emotions, challenges and achievements - a 30-fold increase in revenue and reaching the No. 1 position in the world. This was a marathon at the pace of the sprint, and the last 3 years are the most difficult, but also the most successful. I am very proud of these results, especially the team that I managed to grow, and what we achieved together, - said Pravdy.

According to the founder of Kismet Capital Group, a shareholder of Avito, Ivan Tavrin, the management of the company will remain in the hands of the current top management - the board, which has been de facto doing this for many years.

Kismet as a shareholder will not influence Avito's operating activities, our plans for the company as an asset do not change. I believe in the guys, and that they will succeed. We will always support the team in strategic matters... Avito is in his best shape today. And this is undoubtedly the merit of Volodya and the magnificent team that he managed to assemble, - he added.

The overall development strategy of the company and the annual budget will continue to be developed by the management board and agreed by the shareholder. Thus, the decision-making algorithm will retain its format, emphasized in Avito^[1]
