The company’s minority shareholder, Dmitry Komissarov, told RB.RU that the management offered eleven key senior managers to resign of their own free will. According to Dmitry, this occurred from September to November 2024. This was confirmed by the MyOffice company.
The shareholder relates this to a loss from MyOffice (registered as New Cloud Technologies LLC) of 5.2 billion rubles in 2023 (which is confirmed by open sources) and a projected loss of 4 billion rubles in 2024 (figures from the words of Dmitry Komissarov). .

Komissarov believes that MyOffice “ceded the market” to its competitor, the P7 company. According to public sources, the P7’s revenue by 2023 will amount to 4 billion rubles, and the net profit will be 1.9 billion rubles.
The company decided to dismiss: CEO Pavel Kalyakin, commercial, technical, financial and operational directors, as well as senior IT, personnel, security, administration, technological services and legal managers.
Dmitry Komissarov comments on the company’s personnel decisions: “I welcome these layoffs. I predicted a decline in revenue immediately following the appointment of a new senior management team in 2022. The question is to what extent the people who appointed the previous team are suitable to appoint the current one. Time will tell. “I proposed to dismiss the senior management team in the spring of 2023.”
Komissarov says he started an audit of the company and “if it turns out that some things were done on purpose, I will go to court, but I think it’s not about bad intentions, but about unprofessionalism.” He estimates the damage to the company at $100 million.
The new top management, headed by CEO Pavel Kalyakin, appeared at MyOffice in mid-2022, after Kaspersky Lab’s stake in the company increased from 47% to 61.05%. Kalyakin was subsequently replaced as director of the company by Vyacheslav Zakorzhevsky; this happened in September 2024. Prior to his appointment, Zakorzhevsky held management positions at Kaspersky Lab.
The new CEO comments on the layoffs: “The time has come to implement effective processes that give maturity to the company and allow it to become a technological leader, the number 1 company in the office productivity solutions market.
We hire specialists with extensive experience in the implementation of large projects, both in Russia and on the international market. The new management will accelerate decision-making, ensure clarity and correct alignment of the process hierarchy and allow the highest possible result to be achieved.
Our majority shareholder, Kaspersky Lab, considers MyOffice a strategic asset, provides us with comprehensive support and is ready not only to invest in the company, but also to actively share its experience on all issues.”
Zakorzhevsky says the company continues to develop its products. In 2024, 22 updates to all products in the MyOffice ecosystem were released and two new products were introduced: for individuals, MyOffice for Home, and for corporations, the Squadus PRO digital workspace.
Among the company’s plans for 2025, Vyacheslav mentions focusing on developing sales of communication solutions and expanding the partner network. “We also see great potential in the software and hardware systems (SHC) segment and in the integration of our products with solutions from national suppliers,” adds the new CEO.
According to data from 2023, the shares of the MyOffice company are distributed as follows: 68.8% – from Kaspersky Lab, 22.7% – from Andrey Cheglakov, the first investor of the project, 5% – from Dmitry Komissarov, 2 .5% – from a private investor Alexander Timchenko and 0.75% and 0.25% respectively – from investors Alexey Dobrokhotov and Elena Basova.
