We kicked off the formal portion of our trip with a visit to McKinsey Moscow, where we reuinited with Maxim Ufaev, GSB ´07 and got an excellent overview of the current economic climate in Russia. We then visited the construction site of one of Moscow´s newest and most prestigious mixed-use skyscrapers, where we met with Mirax Group, the turnkey developers, to gain insight into the real estate development industry in Russia.
Our afternoon featured meetings with TNK-BP, a joint venture oil & gas company with both Russian and British shareholders, and Troika Dialog, the oldest and largest Russian investment bank. Excitement was high at the TNK-BP offices due to a recent government raid on their facilities and accusations of industrial espionage levied on two of their employees.
