Valery Goldfeld was appointed Deputy General Director - Technical Director of Comstar-Regions (100% subsidiary of Comstar-UTS). As reported, he was appointed to this post by order of the General Director of Comstar-Regions and took up his duties on September 23.
The department of capital construction, the department of operation, the department of development and the department of information technologies are subordinate to the technical director.
Victor Koresh, General Director of Comstar-Regions, said: “Construction and modernization of communication networks today are paramount tasks for Comstar's regional business. Expansion of the company's presence in the regions also requires the unification of the technologies used, while the competitive situation and the needs of subscribers dictate the need to develop and implement new services. I am sure that Valery Goldfeld will quickly join the team and successfully cope with the tasks set.”
Valery Goldfeld was born in 1969, graduated from the Faculty of Automatic Telecommunications of the Moscow technical university Communications and Informatics with a degree in Telecommunications Engineering. Worked in Russian companies and representative offices of foreign companies in Russia. He was the technical director of CenterTelecom Service and Active Telecom, from 2007 to 2009 he was an adviser to the vice president for technology at Comstar-UTS. From March 2009 until joining Comstar-Regions, Goldfeld worked as the chief engineer of the Russian and CIS representative office of Huawei Technologies.
Fair enough, it turns out that former manager robbed his corporation twice. The first time he deprived her of money, the second time - of business partners. Now former Huawei employee is under house arrest, investigations are underway in the company's office.
Broker in the dark
Goldfeld headed the department for work with key clients vendor from 2015 to 2016. One of the largest projects he led was the supply of Huawei equipment for the third largest ISP in Moscow. "Akado". In 2015, the operator announced that Huawei would build for "Komkora"(part of the Akado group of companies) data center in Moscow on Varshavskoe shosse. This was supposed to be the first data processing center (DPC) in Russia, which Huawei will create from start to finish, a source close to one of the project participants specifies.
According to the interlocutors of Vedomosti, Goldfeld offered to make payments to Akado in favor of Huawei through a third company, and he told both partners that this was a requirement of the second party. As a result, part of the amounts "stuck" with the intermediary company. The vendor believes that the company was created by Goldfeld himself, and accuses him of causing damage of several hundred thousand dollars.
Akado is aware of the proceedings related to the theft of Huawei funds, according to a source close to the company.
Unique project with a good budget
The data center for Akado (area - 1200 sq. m and designed for 200 racks) was positioned as the first data center, completely created by the vendor without the help of integrator companies. “Huawei acted as the general contractor of the project: specialists carried out a full range of activities, from design to equipment supply, installation and commissioning,” the companies said in a statement. This is the first commercial data center that Huawei is building in Russia on a turnkey basis, Goldfeld himself confirmed. According to him, the project was based on Huawei technologies - from server cabinets, uninterruptible power systems, cooling systems to an integrated management and monitoring system for engineering infrastructure. The agreement included not only the construction of the data center, but also its certification and two-year support, Goldfeld said.
iKS-Consulting Analyst Tatyana Temkina said that she did not remember telecommunications equipment manufacturers building data centers in Russia from start to finish. As a rule, data centers are built by specialized integrators, which are few in Russia.
A source close to him estimated the total budget of the data center construction project at about $7 million (about 4.3 billion rubles at the exchange rate of 2015). The companies did not disclose how much the operator paid the vendor for the supply of equipment for the data center.
Went to competitors
Informed sources clarify that the case against Goldfeld got underway after he moved to work for another Chinese vendor, Huawei's closest competitor - ZTE. According to these people, Goldfeld's team at ZTE tried to take contracts from a former employer.
The largest customers of Huawei and ZTE are roughly the same - Rostelecom , MGTS, mobile operators. Since 2015, ZTE has increased purchases from MGTS. If in 2015 they amounted to only 2.3 million rubles, then next year they have grown to 517.3 million rubles, and in the current year they already amount to 958.74 million rubles.
A Huawei representative did not comment on information about the vendor's claims against the manager and the filing of an application with law enforcement agencies. Whether Goldfeld is under arrest is not known to the company, as the manager is no longer with the company. He denied conducting searches in the office in Krylatskoye.
ZTE is not aware of Goldfeld's arrest, a ZTE spokesperson said, specifying that the manager left the company more than six months ago, and ZTE does not track life. former employees. In total, Goldfeld worked for the company for a little less than a year, he clarifies.
Stages of a long journey
Goldfeld has been working in the telecommunications market since the early 2000s. He held the position of technical director of Centertelecom Service and Active Telecom, and from 2007 to 2009 was an adviser to the vice president for technologies of the fixed-line operator Comstar - United Telesystems, having taken this position after the resignation of the previous technical director Alexei Petrov. "Construction and modernization of communication networks today are paramount tasks for Comstar's regional business," Viktor Koresh, General Director of CJSC Comstar-Regions, explained this appointment. dictate the need for the development and implementation of new services.
Then Goldfeld worked as the chief engineer of the representative office for the Russian Federation and the CIS of Huawei, after which he again returned to the Comstar structures. There he worked as Deputy General Director - Technical Director of Comstar Regions (in 2010 Comstar was merged with MTS) until his return to Huawei.
After what happened, several options for bringing charges immediately come to mind - this is fraud, and the criminal community, and the actions of a group of people by prior conspiracy, and, quite possibly, economic crimes related to the use of a one-day company, and tax evasion, the executive director of the law firm argues HEADS Consulting Nikita Kulikov. Without studying the main elements of the case and the evidence base of the accusing party, it is premature to draw any specific conclusions, but the above grounds are likely to be mentioned in the investigation materials, he clarifies. In any case, the damage is very large, besides, law enforcement agencies intervened, and therefore, the consequences for the manager can be the most serious, even if he admits his guilt and tries to compensate for the damage, the expert concludes.
As reported by the agency "Ruspres", in July, Renova Aktiv bought 25% of the shares from the founder of Akado, Yuri Pripachkin, becoming the sole owner of the company.
