Maxim Kashirin
Founder and President, Simple Group
For 25 years the company has retained its initial mission and values. It’s the right entrepreneurial vibe. We had no doubts about our success. It was only a question of how fast it would happen, and how well it would work. We are honest Soviet Pioneers and Komsomol members. We always had the following verbs in our minds: “I will build," "I will create," "I will make," "I will achieve."
