Maksim Vorobyev: a Story of Success

Maksim Vorobyev was born in Krasnoyarsk. Later he moved to Moscow to study international economic relations. Actually, entering Moscow State University of International Relations was his first step on the way to success.

The first steps

Being a student, Maksim Vorobyev decided to try working as a sales manager in "Russian sea group" He chose this company for a reason: the SEO of this enterprise was his brother AndreyVorobyev, who owned 60% of the shares. During the last year at the university he combined study and work. A little later he became the top manager at the fish factory. When his brother went to politics, Maksim Vorobyev bought his ratio and became the owner of the group of companies "Russian Sea". Since 2006 he was the CEO, and in 2007 he became the chairman of the board. 

In 2006 Maksim Vorobyev graduated from Spanish School of Business and became a qualified specialist in the sphere of stock shares. Apart from his main enterprise, he actively participated in banking business. In addition, he is the member of the supervisory council of the Public Limited Company "Saint-Petersburg".

"Russian sea" group

When the company changed the owner, the business was constantly improving, and the income increased. Once a Norwegian company became interested in "Russian sea" and decided to buy 20% of the shares, but Maksim Vorobyev refused to sign the project, as he considered it to be unprofitable. 

Despite the growing success of the company, it couldn’t overcome the financial crisis on its own. The debt was so huge that nobody saw the way out. However, a famous businessman GennadiyTimchenko saved the enterprise: his investment fund Volga Resources bought 30.5% of shares and "Russian sea" got the possibility to work at the new level. 

The Activity of "Russian aquaculture"

When in 2009 the enterprise faced the crisis, Maksim Vorobyev decided to unite his business with the business of GennadiyTimchenko, another successful businessman. After that the company started developing  rapidly.

“Russian sea group”consists of 3 companies, each of them works with a particular aspect of fish production and distribution. Recently the company has changed the name and became "Russian aquaculture". The company is planning to work not only with fish and seafood, but with other sea organisms.
