General Director of Severstal Group, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OAO Severstal. One of the Russian oligarchs of the "new generation". In 2006, he unsuccessfully tried to enter the world market by merging Severstal with the Arcelor concern based in Luxembourg. In the same year, according to Forbes magazine, with a fortune of $ 7.6 billion, he took 64th place in the list of the richest people on the planet.

Mordashov entered the list of 100 most influential entrepreneurs in Russia. Sociological research was carried out by the magazine "Expert".
OAO Severstal has become one of the few Russian metallurgical enterprises that have been able to survive the anti-dumping proceedings between Russia and the United States on the export of Russian steel and the reduction in sales of their products to this country without much loss. Severstal's sales portfolio today is evenly distributed between Central and South America, North America, Europe, the Middle East, as well as Africa and Southeast Asia.
A former economist at Cherepovets Severstal, he became the company's CEO in 1996. The Severstal-invest company owned by him accumulated a controlling stake in the enterprise.

So, many media vied with each other that Deputy Prime Minister Valentina Matvienko, after a visit to Severstal, said that she knew an excellent candidate for government membership - this is Alexei Mordashov.

In December 2003, Rossiya Bank announced that it would place an additional issue of shares worth 30 million rubles. at face value in favor of Aleksey Mordashov's Severstal Group at a price 20 times higher than the face value. Thus, the holding had to pay 600 million rubles. for 9% of the bank's shares with equity capital of 616 million rubles. Rossiya CEO Viktor Myachin explained the high cost of the stake by the fact that when determining the transaction price, "the entry of an outside investor" into the bank's capital and the dynamics of its development were taken into account (assets and capital tripled over the year). Experts consider such an assessment of a minority stake to be completely inadequate.
At the end of June 2005, Aleksey Mordashov's Severstal Group bought out almost a 70% stake in REN TV from RAO UES, in turn, the German media concern RTL Group acquired another 30% stake, which belonged to the family of the founder and CEO of the channel Irena Lesnevskaya . In October, Severstal sold half of its shares in REN TV to Surgutneftegaz.
Changes in the ownership structure also led to administrative changes: instead of Lesnevskaya, Alexander Ordzhonikidze became the new general director. On November 23, A. Ordzhonikidze ordered that two stories be removed from the air of Olga Romanova's program "24 Hours" - about the termination of the criminal case against the son of Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov (in May, the minister's son killed an elderly woman in a car) and about the construction of a new chapel on Manezhnaya Square designed by Zurab Tsereteli. December 5, 2005 Romanova filed a letter of resignation from the channel.

September 2006 - Alexei Mordashov, the owner of Severstal, is going to become the company's CEO again by the end of the year. He left this post in 2002, but is now returning to raise the popularity of Severstal shares in the eyes of foreign investors. The exchange placement of at least 10% of Severstal's shares will take place at the end of October 2006. Now the company is managed by ZAO Severstal-group (general director Anatoly Kruchinin), but the contract with it will be terminated ahead of schedule. This is necessary to improve the corporate governance of Severstal, the company representative explained, and if the shareholders vote for this decision on October 27, then from December 16 the management of Severstal will officially pass to the CEO. But, as it became known to Vedomosti, this is not about Anatoly Kruchinin, who performs these duties on behalf of CJSC Severstal Group. The result of the management reform will be the return of Alexei Mordashov to the post of CEO of the company
Last year's example of AFK Sistema showed that the arrival of the company's main owner and well-known businessman as CEO contributes to the success of an IPO. On the eve of the placement of Sistema's shares, its board of directors dismissed the president and appointed the main owner of the company, Vladimir Yevtushenkov, who left the presidency a decade ago, to this post. The owner must bear personal responsibility to investors - this is how Yevtushenkov explained this step. As a result, AFK Sistema and its owner bailed out $1.56 billion for their shares, and this year Yevtushenkov once again ceded the chair of the head of the company to a hired manager. Earlier, Mechel also resorted to such a trick: before the IPO of shares in New York, its co-owner Vladimir Iorikh became the general director of the Mechel group. And the co-owner of Evraz, Alexander Abramov, resigned as president of the company only six months after his company held an IPO.
Although Mordashov will not have time to become the official CEO of Severstal before the share offering, this decision will certainly be indicated in the memorandum for investors and should please them, according to a top manager of the metallurgical group, which is also preparing for a public offering of shares. After all, a wide range of investors do not know anything about Kruchinin, but Mordashov, especially after trying to become the largest owner of Arcelor, is a world celebrity, the management of Severstal is unlikely to change in essence, says Uralsib analyst Kirill Chuiko: Mordashov, as before, will determine the development strategy, and Kruchinin - to carry out the operational management of the steel plant in Cherepovets. But who, instead of Mordashov, will head the board of directors of Severstal, Vedomosti failed to find out. Most likely, one of the independent directors, whom Severstal is now looking for, believes one of Mordashov's acquaintances. ("Vedomosti", 21.09.2006)
On December 18, 2006, the shareholders of Media Holding Ren TV LLC (this structure includes the TV channel and television company of the same name) approved a new board of directors, whose chairman on the same day was elected Lyubov Sovershaeva, who represents the interests of the new shareholder of this company - LLC " IK Abros".
It is still unknown which block of shares went to IK Abros. But if we take into account that L. Sovershayeva headed the board of directors of Media Holding Ren TV LLC, we are talking not only about a large stake, but most likely about a controlling one. ...before this deal, 35% of Ren TV's shares were owned by Severstal and Surgutneftegaz, and 30% of the shares were owned by the German media company RTL Group. Until December 18, 2006, the chairman of the board of directors of Ren TV was Alexei Germanovich, a representative of Severstal. Most likely, the Severstal company retained a small stake in Ren TV, since it also owns an 18% stake in the TRK Petersburg. In addition, Severstal owns a 7% stake in Bank Rossiya, which, in turn, manages the accounts of the metallurgical company.
