Dagmara Ivanova was appointed general director of the new company. Previously, she was CEO of Svyaznoy. Mikhail Dogadin, vice president of procurement and business development of the Svyaznoy network, became commercial director of the new retail business.
Dagmara Ivanova stated that Svyaz.ON has no relationship with Svyaznoy Network LLC. She did not reveal the timing of the project or the volume of investments.
The publication’s interlocutor among electronics suppliers suggested that the chain’s points of sale will be “small islands” or will occupy the space left after the active departure of foreign brands from the Russian market over the past two years.
