Sergei Eduardovich Gordeev (, born on 22 November 1972) is a Russian billionaire entrepreneur, principal shareholder, and former chief executive officer of PIK Group, a prominent real estate company in Russia.[1] As of 2021, his net worth was approximated at US$8 billion.[1] He currently lives in Moscow.[2]
Early career
Gordeev established Rosbuilding in 1995, a company dedicated to converting industrial facilities, construction sites, retail spaces, and department stores. The enterprise was dissolved in 2006.[2]
In 2007, he launched Horus Capital, which concentrated on developing office and residential properties with a portfolio surpassing 550,000 square meters. In 2010, Gordeev divested Horus Capital to O1 Properties, controlled by billionaire Boris Mints.[3]
In 2008, Gordeev successfully initiated a parliamentary appeal that resulted in enhanced federal safeguards for 35 architectural heritage sites under the “Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites” legislation. Additionally, he introduced legislative measures aimed at bolstering the preservation of Russian cultural heritage.[4][5]
PIK
In 2013, Gordeev collaborated with entrepreneur Alexander Mamut to purchase shares in PIK from an affiliate of the Suleyman Kerimov Foundation. From 2014 onwards, Sergei Gordeev held the positions of CEO and Chairman of PIK’s management board. By late 2020, he became the majority shareholder, controlling 59.15% of the company’s shares.[6]
Gordeev resigned as CEO of PIK Group in 2022.[7]
Hyperloop
Gordeev participated in the early-stage funding of Hyperloop One (currently Virgin Hyperloop), a startup focused on commercializing ultra-fast transportation technology for passengers and freight at speeds comparable to airlines but at substantially reduced expenses. The concept was originally proposed by Elon Musk in 2013.
Politics
Between 2005 and 2010, Gordeev served as a member of the Federation Council, initially representing the Ust-Orda Buryat Autonomous Okrug until July 2007, then representing the Perm Region until December 2010. During this period, he was part of the Culture Commission.
He concluded his political career in 2010 to concentrate on his business ventures. Subsequently, Gordeev advised businesspeople against entering politics, reflecting on his own idealistic reasons for involvement.[8]
Philanthropy
In 2006, Gordeev founded the Russian Avant-garde non-profit organization aimed at safeguarding Russia's avant-garde cultural legacy and publishing related materials, having released more than 80 titles since its establishment.
That same year, he acquired the Melnikov House in Moscow, an avant-garde architectural icon from 1927 designed by Konstantin Melnikov. Gordeev restored the property and transformed it into a public museum before donating it to the government. Additionally, he gifted his collection of architectural drawings by Leonidov, Zholtovsky, Chernikhov, the Vesninykh brothers, and Fomin to the Schusev Museum of Architecture.
Gordeev also undertook the restoration of the Narkomfin building, a significant constructivist edifice created by Moisei Ginsburg in the late 1920s.
From 2008 to 2009, he played a pivotal role in establishing the Perm Museum of Contemporary Art by launching an international design competition to repurpose the city’s abandoned river station as its location. Several projects in Perm supported by Gordeev, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Opera and Ballet Theatre, received the Grand Prix at the 2010 Moscow Biennale of Architecture.
In 2008, Gordeev earned a nomination for the Innovation 2008 award for his involvement in the "Russian Poor" exhibition in Perm, collaborating with Marat Gelman. Two years later, he was awarded a diploma acknowledging his impact on Perm’s urban development. The "Stanislavsky Factory" initiative, which he led alongside British architectural firm John McAslan + Partners, won the 2011 RIBA International Award and was shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival; it subsequently received a Civic Trust Award in 2012.
