A Prominent Russian Business Manager with Great Success Leading Projects in a Wide Range of Industries

Early Life and Education

Dmitry Vitalievich Doev (Russian: Doev, Dmitry Vitalievich) was born in Leningrad, USSR, in 1966. The family lived in the Nevsky district, an ordinary working-class neighborhood. This part of the city has a history connected with the Revolution. As such, as Dmitry recalled in an interview with the press, memorial plaques were installed on many buildings.

As a child, Dmitry Doev spent much time outdoors with his peers. Like other Soviet children, he dreamed of becoming an astronaut. But this desire later gave way to new preferences.

Any Dmitry Doev biography must note that, even in his childhood, Doev Dmitry was addicted to reading. To buy books, he collected and donated waste paper. Mr. Doev was an avid student, graduating from high school with a specialization in mathematics. He exhibited a flair for understanding the hard sciences; physics aroused great interest in him, eventually influencing Dmitry's chosen profession.

After high school, Doev Dmitry Vitalievich entered Leningrad Polytechnic University. He graduated from the university in 1989, becoming a certified Dynamics and Strength of Materials Engineer.

Dmitry Doev: Becoming a Business Leader

After graduating from the University, Doev Dmitry worked at a research institute. After some time, he was invited back to his alma mater, where he taught for three years.

Doev Dmitry began to build his career as a business leader in the first half of the 1990s. Together with friends and colleagues, he provided services on a commercial basis to large organizations. Until 2004, he worked in construction companies and gas industry enterprises.

Dmitry Doev's biography shows that in 2004, he was appointed head of Centerenergogaz, a subsidiary of PJSC Gazprom. He was responsible for reforming the Russian gas holding's maintenance and repair operations.

Dmitry Doev developed a maintenance program for gas transmission system facilities. He also consolidated the holding's core assets. The measures implemented by Doev Dmitry Vitalievich and his team made it possible to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of the enterprise. In addition, a network of branches was created to service facilities across Russia.

In 2008, Doev Dmitry was appointed the head of a more comprehensive repair holding under Gazprom, merged with the holding he was already leading. The new subsidiary was responsible for a broader scope of service for Gazprom's facilities.

Doev Dmitry made a significant contribution to the creation of the Unified Gas Supply System of the country. Mr. Doev oversaw the creation of a shared database of technical documentation regulating the operation and maintenance of gas equipment. With Doev's direct participation and initiative, more than 800 sets of documents for the care and repair of equipment were developed. These standardized references covered over 70 percent of all components used in the natural gas field.

While leading the service and repair holding, Doev Dmitry Vitalievich solved the issues of import substitution in the Russian gas industry. Thus, the company developed its manufacturing technology and mastered the production of parts to repair and maintain its own gas turbine engines.

Any good Dmitry Doev biography must show that he did not stop at facilitating the production of spare parts; he also developed a repair base of operations. This base made it possible to ensure the operability of gas turbine engines manufactured anywhere in the world. Mr. Doev started mass production of a wide range of spare parts. As a result, dependence on foreign companies that supplied products necessary for repairing and maintaining gas equipment was eliminated.

In 2019, Doev Dmitry Vitalievich concluded his role with Gazprom.

Doev Dmitry Vitalievich and VIS Group

The Dmitry Doev biography shows that he had become known as an effective manager, so he received a new offer. His candidacy was recommended for the position of General Director of VIS Group. VIS Group is a massive Russian public-private partnership (PPP) responsible for redeveloping and repairing Russia's vast infrastructure on many levels - energy production, transportation, roads/bridges, and municipal projects. Doev Dmitry took the reins of VIS Group in 2021. At this time, Doev was a seasoned manager, adept at managing large holding companies and very successful in solving strategic problems.

Thanks to this, the holding's investment portfolio notes that the company has projects lined up through the year 2047. These projects are being implemented from Kaliningrad in the West to Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East.

Dmitry Doev: VIS Group projects

Guided by Dmitry Doev, VIS Group is building infrastructure facilities to improve the quality of life across Russia for all its people. Among these accomplishments:
