Best of the day

She was born on February 5, 1966 in Moscow. As a child, Natalya favored animals and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but categorically did not work out with chemistry at school. But with mathematics everything was in in perfect order, and parents - a mother, a design engineer, and a physico-mathematical father-candidate - prophesied a great future for Natalya on a technical path. Even before entering the institute, Natalya proved to be a leader - she was engaged in active pioneering and social activities.

After listening to her parents, Kaspersky entered the specialty "Applied Mathematics" of the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering. In 1989 she received her diploma. Subsequently, she received a bachelor's degree from the Open University in the UK, majoring in Business.

Before going into sales and management, Natalia worked for several years at the Central Scientific and Design Bureau of Moscow as an ordinary researcher. While still a student, she met the talented programmer Evgeny Kaspersky, and when in 1994 the opportunity arose to go to work at the Kami Science and Technology Center - the one where Evgeny began his career - Kaspersky seized the opportunity. In "Kami" she took up an unusual activity for herself. At first, Natalya worked as a sales manager in the computer equipment department, but soon she was transferred to manage the anti-virus development department, where Evgeny Kaspersky worked on AVP.

By 1997 - when Kaspersky's anti-virus product began to be sold, and things at the Kami Research and Development Center had completely deteriorated - Natalya raised the issue of separating and creating her own company. Eugene Kaspersky at first grumbled and did not want any changes - they say, they will only interfere with the work on the project. But Natalia still persuaded her husband.

In 1997, the Kaspersky Lab company appeared. Evgeniy acted according to the principle of "the idea ... of the initiator" - he threw all organizational responsibility on Kaspersky and returned to software development. At first, Natalya Kaspersky had a hard time. But she managed. And in 1998, hired technical, commercial and financial directors came to her aid.

In 1998, the family of Natalia and Evgeny fell apart under the pressure of everyday squabbles. For the company it visibly did not affect. Until 2007, the leadership and responsibility for the activity of Kaspersky Lab in the market lay mainly on the shoulders of CEO Natalya Kaspersky. In 2007, as a major shareholder, she was elected to the post of head of the board of directors, while Evgeny took the place of general director.

In 2004, in parallel with her work at the "Laboratory", Natalia began to develop another area of ​​activity - the development of data protection systems in corporate intranet networks (DLP systems). After 3 years, Kaspersky took the post of CEO of the InfoWatch company she founded, a developer and distributor of such systems. Today, this company has a huge potential for expansion into Western markets. In Russia, InfoWatch became the first in its field.

In Russia, the successful work of Natalya Kaspersky was noted in 2008. She was ranked 4th in the top 10 most successful businesswomen in the country. By this time, Natalia already had many awards from foreign IT publications. In the same year, Kaspersky was elected a member of the Russian-German Chamber of Commerce. By the way, in 2010, Natalya Kasperskaya won the second place among the best top managers in the Russian IT industry.

In business, Natalia appreciates teamwork. As a leader, she knows how to listen to the opinions of specialists before committing rash acts. At the same time, she does not accept all kinds of team building and other “nonsense” inspired from abroad. Work with Russian programmers requires a completely different approach, and Kaspersky is aware of this. In the "Laboratory" developers were never chastised for being late, but they had to do their part on time.

Married to Evgeny Kaspersky, Natalya became the mother of two children. After the divorce, she began to live with a prominent IT figure Igor Ashmanov. By 2011, she became the mother of two more children. The last daughter Masha was born in March 2009. A month earlier, fans of Kaspersky Anti-Virus had presented Natalya with a comic list of possible names for the child, each of which somehow related to the anti-virus area.

Natalia Kasperskaya knows two well foreign languages- German and English. Often travels on vacation ski resorts, is interested in tourism and travel. Natalia plays the guitar well.

Natalia Kasperskaya is one of the most successful women Russia, she took 2nd place in the list of the 50 most influential business women Russia according to the magazine "Finance" for 2009. She has big business and four children. She managed to survive the divorce and become happy again. About Natalia and will be discussed in a new article heading « « .

Natalya Kasperskaya is a very famous person, therefore, as is now customary, the main thing is read on wikipedia: Born in Moscow in 1966. Parents are typical representatives of the "technical intelligentsia". The only child was born by those standards late: the father was already 46 years old, the mother - 30. Parents are engineers, worked in "closed" institutes, always busy.

We all come from childhood

She studied at a simple Soviet school. She was an ordinary schoolgirl, though very "socially active": “I was engaged in social activities and was even a member of the regional pioneer headquarters. In general, trips to the pioneer headquarters are one of the most vivid childhood memories: we were always inventing something there - we staged performances, made propaganda teams, traveled around the country.

In addition, I was involved in sports, enough for a long time I played basketball at the Youth Sports School. In winter, she went skiing in the Moscow region, and in summer she was fond of swimming. She also collected stamps, badges and Soviet coins, painted portraits of her friends and sang in the school choir. She composed poems for all sorts of skits and school concerts.

But sometimes it was sad, there were not enough brothers or sisters ... Then I thought that I myself would have three children.

In an interview, Natalya Kasperskaya said that she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian: “I really enjoyed working with animals. I even seriously thought about choosing such a profession, but when I moved to high school, I started having completely insurmountable problems with chemistry. And since my parents are “techies”, there was no special alternative. Naturally, I was advised to enter a technical university.”

For the last two school years she studied at the Physics and Mathematics School at the Moscow Aviation Institute, then entered the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering (MIEM) at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. Later it turned out that Natalya's vocation is still not mathematics, in her warehouse she is more of a humanist. Although mathematics was given in exactly the same way as other subjects and problems were solved without problems, but I could not invent some kind of algorithm, prove a theorem without memorizing it before.

Institute and family in one bottle

At the institute, Natasha studied with varying degrees of success. Thanks to her school habit, she studied well, and in the first three years she studied diligently, as a rule, she earned a scholarship. Then the habits began to change and the university was graduated in 1989 without a red diploma.
