Khan German biography
KHAN German Borisovich (b. 1961 in Kyiv) graduated from the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys (MISiS) in 1988. After graduation, Khan began working in cooperatives Poisk and Kosmos. Then, together with partner Alexander Furman, he created his cooperative Alexandrina, which was engaged in apparel sewing.
- In 1989, Khan met with another MISiS graduate, Mikhail Fridman, who by then had a Soviet-Swiss joint venture, Alfa-Eco. Khan joined him and became engaged in wholesale and export. In 1995, Khan became director of the Alfa-Eco Raw Materials Department. In 1996, he took over as president of Alfa-Eco.
- In the late 1990s, he was a member of the Boards of large oil companies, Siberian-Far Eastern Oil Company (SIDANCO) and Saratovneftegaz, which is part of the former. In 1997, Khan became a member of the Board of the Tyumen Oil Company (TNK), and in February 1998, the first Vice President of the company and Deputy Chairman of the board of TNK.
- In June 1999, Khan tried to enter politics. He was elected a member of the political council of the Interregional Socio-Political Association Yugra (political bloc All Russia). The political council of Yugra also included the heads of the territorial divisions of all energy companies operating in the Khanty-Mansiysk District. In August 1999, the All Russia bloc merged into the electoral bloc Fatherland-All Russia (OVR) led by Yevgeny Primakov and Yuri Luzhkov. Besides supporting the Luzhkov-Primakov movement, the main function of Yugra was the financing of a new political force. All Russia ceased to exist at the end of 2001, merging into Unity, and Ugra, which gradually lost its position, became one of many movements that actively supported Vladimir Putin and the party in power.
- In 2000, he took the position of Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, as well as Executive Director of TNK. In the same year, he joined the Board of Directors of ONAKO OJSC, Orenburgneft, in June 2001 – OJSC KIB Alfa-Bank, and in February 2003 – Slavneft. In 2003, after the merger of TNK with British Petroleum assets, German Khan became the executive director of the new TNK-BP company, as well as the executive director and member of the Board of TNK-BP Management. In 2013, after the purchase of TNK-BP by Rosneft, Khan left the company.
