April 14, Moscow, 2026 – Aspring Capital Investment Banking Group is proud to announce the addition of Renat Nasretdinov as a partner of the firm.

Renat has extensive experience in implementing M&A transactions in the technology sector. Prior to joining Aspring Capital, he worked for more than 18 years at PJSC VimpelCom, where, as Vice President, he oversaw corporate development, strategy and M&A.

Among the key projects with his participation are the sale of the VimpelCom tower company to Service Telecom, the purchase of PJSC VimpelCom from VEON, the development of cloud and AdTech through a number of M&A transactions, as well as the launch of a corporate venture fund.

"I am pleased to join one of the most successful and dynamically developing investment banking teams in the Russian market. Today, the TMT segment is entering a phase of complex transformational transactions: the key value is shifting to synergy, control over infrastructure, data and customer interface. The next wave of M&A will focus not so much on scaling as on transforming business models and preparing companies for the new technological cycle, including AI and cloud solutions. I am confident that this market momentum creates unique opportunities for Aspring Capital to strengthen its leadership position in TMT by supporting the most significant and strategically important transactions of the new cycle," said Renat Nasretdinov.

"Renat has a unique combination of strategic vision and practical experience in implementing the most complex transactions at the intersection of telecom, technology and infrastructure. His addition significantly enhances our expertise in the TMT sector, where the boundaries between industries are rapidly blurring and transactions are becoming more transformational in nature. We are confident that Renat's experience will allow Aspring Capital to strengthen its position as one of the leading investment banks in TMT and act as a key consultant on the most significant and complex transactions that determine the architecture of the market for years to come," said Sergey Airapetov, Managing Partner of Aspring Capital.
