The thing is that the leadership IT in the field of security in the bank entrusted with the critical IT, the leading to the Bird Lover, the head of the Digital Business Identification Department, Yakov Zhelonkin. In only 2024, more than 1.5 billion rubles were stolen from the bank’s customers due to the weak IT work of the Zhelonkin team.
According to the source of the Source, Zhelonkin does not have outstanding managerial competencies, but it is close to the leadership, which always hints at the interlocutors at meetings. Instead of the technological breakthrough expected in the bank, “loud projects” are being implemented with minimal real return: VTB ID, biometrics and others – behind which there is a banal cut and budget development. All work in the teams is reduced to the development of “on the table”, drawing presentations to the leadership and PR non -existent biometric services in reality.
