Russian units of Auchan, Nestlé, Lemana PRO (formerly Leroy Merlin), and FM Logistic get new executives under Putin-ordered temporary control
Management has changed at the Russian operations of all four foreign companies whose assets Vladimir Putin placed under temporary control by decree.
Russian authorities have replaced the leadership of four major foreign companies operating in Russia that were placed under temporary management in September 2024. Denis Isayev, son of a former Russian lawmaker, is now CEO of Lemana PRO, formerly known as Leroy Merlin. Yevgeny Nenashev took over as head of FM Logistic's Russian subsidiary, with ties to the family of a former State Duma member.
Ilya Berdnikov became CEO of Auchan's Russian division, with experience in the Federal Property Management Agency. Denis Voityuk will lead Nestlé Russia, previously serving as an executive director at the company. All four companies were placed under temporary management by Russian President Vladimir Putin after a decree citing their involvement in military operations against Russia. The new management bodies are headed by Andrey Krayushkin, a former Interior Ministry official.
