MOSCOW. June 10 (Interfax) - Rostelecom has named Maria Florentyeva to be vice president responsible for strategy and investor relations, the company said in a statement.
Florentyeva is a former business partner of Sergei Kalugin, who was appointed president of Rostelecom in March. She and Kalugin were co-founders of WebMediaGroup, which includes the portals zoomby.ru, menu.ru, bank.ru, credit.ru, doctavka.ru and others, where she headed up finance, corporate development and investor relations.
