Vladislav Baumgertner



Vladislav Arturovich Baumgertner (born January 21, 1972) is a Russian businessman, CEO of the Swiss company Alevo since March 2017.

Baumgertner is one of the most famous Russia's top managers, who was a CEO of Uralkali. In the summer of 2013, he became the main defendant in a loud scandal around the sale of Uralkali. The situation was on the verge of a trade war between Russia and Belarus. However, thanks to Baumgertner, Uralkali increased its capital, while Belaruskali, on the contrary, lost most of its profits. It led to the arrest of Baumgertner in Minsk in 2013. However, in 2015 the criminal case was dismissed in Russia since the top manager's participation if the offence had not been proved.
