Natalya Kasperskaya is one of the most successful women in Russia, she took 2nd place in the list of the 50 most influential business women Russia according to the magazine "Finance" for 2009. She has big business and four children. She managed to survive the divorce and become happy again. About Natalia and will be discussed in a new article heading « « .
Natalya Kasperskaya is a very famous person, therefore, as is now customary, the main thing is read on wikipedia: Born in Moscow in 1966. Parents are typical representatives of the "technical intelligentsia". The only child was born by those standards late: the father was already 46 years old, the mother - 30. Parents are engineers, worked in "closed" institutes, always busy.
We all come from childhood
She studied at a simple Soviet school. She was an ordinary schoolgirl, though very "socially active": "was engaged social activities and was even a member of the regional pioneer headquarters. In general, trips to the pioneer headquarters are one of the most vivid childhood memories: we were always inventing something there - we staged performances, made propaganda teams, traveled around the country.
In addition, I was involved in sports, enough for a long time I played basketball at the Youth Sports School. In winter, she went skiing in the Moscow region, and in summer she was fond of swimming. She also collected stamps, badges and Soviet coins, painted portraits of her friends and sang in the school choir. She composed poems for all sorts of skits and school concerts.
But sometimes it was sad, there were not enough brothers or sisters ... Then I thought that I myself would have three children.
In an interview, Natalya Kasperskaya said that she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian: “I really enjoyed working with animals. I even seriously thought about choosing such a profession, but when I moved to high school, I started having completely insurmountable problems with chemistry. And since my parents are “techies”, there was no special alternative. Naturally, I was advised to enter a technical university.”
For the last two school years she studied at the Physics and Mathematics School at the Moscow Aviation Institute, then entered the Moscow Institute of Electronic Engineering (MIEM) at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics. Later it turned out that Natalya's vocation is still not mathematics, in her warehouse she is more of a humanist. Although mathematics was given in exactly the same way as other subjects and problems were solved without problems, but I could not invent some kind of algorithm, prove a theorem without memorizing it before.
Institute and family in one bottle
At the institute, Natasha studied with varying degrees of success. Thanks to her school habit, she studied well, and in the first three years she studied diligently, as a rule, she earned a scholarship. Then the habits began to change and the university was graduated in 1989 without a red diploma.

She is not in a hurry - although the assistants plan her daily schedule literally by the minute. He answers all questions simply - although in life and in business he solves problems of almost prohibitive complexity. Tall, with a perfect posture, a calm smile and an even, deep voice, she involuntarily makes you want to imitate her - although you understand that copying here is most likely impossible.
Natalya Kasperskaya is the owner of the InfoWatch group of companies, co-founder of Kaspersky Lab, one of the richest women in Russia and the mother of five children. After college, still undecided on a career, she gave birth to two sons and went part-time as a software salesman. Having felt the taste of entrepreneurship, it was she who saw the commercial potential in the fact that her first husband Evgeny “sitting and coding”, and in 1997 she insisted on creating her own company. Thanks to this, literally on every computer today there is a famous antivirus. And his “godmother”, who turned a startup into an international corporation with space turnover in a decade, then managed to survive a dramatic divorce and a difficult division of shares in the business, resigned as CEO ... and started again from scratch. Or rather, from the development of a fundamentally different concept for her new company, InfoWatch, which, according to Kaspersky, “had only one name at the time of launch.”
M.C.: Natalia, today Marie Claire is celebrating its 20th anniversary in Russia – and in the same years you created the first big business, then changed course and built your own grandiose career. When you started, there was no such excitement around information technology as it is now, this industry has not yet been called a “dream job” and a “portal to the future”. How and when did you realize that you wanted to work in IT?
Natalia Kasperskaya: I think this happened two or three years after we founded Kaspersky Lab. That is, around the beginning of the 2000s, when it became clear that she had already survived both the first and second crises, and we were in the middle of the third. In general, difficulties of different levels and crises are normal at the beginning of a startup. Then I began to understand that I was here for a long time, that I would do this all my life. In fact, I remained in the field of information security - although I later left Kaspersky Lab.
Luck and perseverance
When you are asked about the secrets of a successful business, you say that it is important to catch the "subtle signals of luck" ...
I wouldn't say very thin. (Laughs) They are quite specific. Probably, in companies, as in people's lives, a lot also depends on luck. From the position of the stars, if you like. You can study some business methods for a long time, try to apply them, but if the “stars do not add up”, it is unlikely that everything will be easy.
You do not want to say that you read horoscopes at work, do you?
No, I don't read at all. (Laughs.) And I do not believe in horoscopes - I think that this is complete nonsense. But luck, of course, is, and it is predetermined by clear factors. For example, it is important at what point you enter the market. That's right - this is at the time of the initial growth of the market. Well, if the country has a very good situation with personnel. And there are opportunities that no one has yet discovered, and you have already found them. But the question is - how many people do we know who get to the right point? There are very few of them, enchanting career ups are a rarity. In the IT world, this is Bill Gates and his Microsoft, Steve Jobs and his Apple, Brin with Page and Google. Note that Gates and Jobs, peers, started at the same time and in a situation where there was already a need for computers for the population, but there were no normal means. Computers were at that time too complex, cumbersome, inconvenient to use. In fact, both, albeit in different ways, came to offer the public private computers for home use. And as a result, mega-corporations with multibillion-dollar turnovers were born. In another example, Dell figured out how to assemble efficiently and came up with a unique model for selling PCs directly, thereby drastically lowering the price of PCs and making them even more affordable. And she also found a place in the market - it turned out to take off. Google, which, by the way, was not the first in search engines(there were already four or five search engines), came up with an algorithm that was head and shoulders above everything else on the market. And because of this, they were able to fly.
Summarizing, we can say that the secret of a huge business is when you do something that people really need, which at the moment is either not being implemented well enough, or is not being implemented at all. I like this comparison: as if you were swimming along the river and fell into a rapid - you will be carried further without your will, and you just need to row so as not to be thrown out of the stream.
And if the flow does not carry?
Then you fight somewhere in the backwater, trying to pull out, and you are thrown back by a wave, and everything moves extremely complicated and slowly. Here, for example, InfoWatch is such a difficult child, we did not immediately manage to fit into the rapids. We had to wallow at the shore for a long time - then crises covered us, then the market stopped growing and we had to spend a lot of effort on its development, then suddenly new competitors appeared out of nowhere.
So it's not just luck?
Well, you have to be stubborn, of course.
Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of?
You know, InfoWatch has grown almost three and a half times over the past three years. And the project was really very difficult, a constant struggle, from the first day. I took it in 2007, practically from scratch I began to understand. A year later, I began to understand something in business - and then there was a crisis, sales fell by 60%. We release new version- does not work. You have to roll back to the old one and at the same time completely rebuild the entire development. And then everything in the same spirit! Pulled out one wheel - stuck others. The fact that the project is now moving and even flying is a colossal achievement.
Money and risk
I often communicate with Marie Claire readers - many of them have already succeeded in business, others dream of it. How do you know if it's "yours" or "not yours"?
And there is no need to understand. If a person has this tendency, it will definitely manifest itself. To do this, at least two qualities must converge - the love of money and the love of risk. If it is, most likely, the person has the makings of an entrepreneur. You can talk about other features, but these two are the main ones.
Well, everyone probably loves money, but most would like to protect themselves from risks ...
And entrepreneurship is generally a story about risk. First of all. You make something new, go to market with it, and the probability of a new product failure is over 90%. This must be understood. How, for example, does the venture capital market work? Companies create new products, go to venture capitalists and ask them for funding. Capitalists look at these companies very carefully, select business projects and invest in those that they consider the best. As a result, a good venture capitalist, on average, has the following ratio: only one company out of ten shoots, makes a breakthrough, really brings in big money. Three-four, depending on luck, go neither shaky nor rolls, and the rest simply disappear. That is, only half of the “live” companies remain in the portfolio, of which three or four have to be constantly supported, and only one takes off. But this one pays for the costs of all the others. And note that only a tenth of all applicants get into the portfolio of a venture capitalist - there is a very careful selection. And for risky investors (who invest according to the principle of three "F" - "family, friends, fools"), the success rate is even less - 1:15.
That is, first of all, you need a strong nervous system. And what else?
Those who are afraid of risk should not even try. And yet, if a person starts his own business, he must be well versed in it. Although history knows different cases. For example, when a person began to engage agriculture, being a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences. (Laughs.) He just became interested, he delved into all the processes, spent a lot of time on it, did not give in to difficulties - and he succeeded.
Strength and balance
Do you think there is such a thing as "women's business"?
I think so: women are more open to people than men, they are able to feel and hear them better, they are more relationship-oriented. Although this rule is not for everyone - and among women there are those who spoil everything in any relationship.
Does the focus on relationships help or hinder more?
It's not always the same. When you need to be tough, maybe it's harder for a woman. When you need to build relationships, it's easier. I think, as always, you need to strike a balance. If a woman knows that she has a soft character, it is better to have a partner who will take a hard line. Or find an assistant, for example, a strong head of security - the risks must be reduced. This rule works not only for women, but for any manager. It is necessary to understand your weaknesses and select people who have these strengths as assistants.
Do you have effective communication techniques?
Not sure. It seems to me that as a woman, first of all, I have the ability to listen. It is difficult when the points of view of subordinates differ greatly and it is necessary to bring them together somehow. Because I am categorically against violent measures. A person cannot be ordered to do something against his will. It will be inefficient and end badly. So, you need to convince. If this fails, I suggest: let's try your own way, and we'll see. Very often a person tries, then comes and admits: okay, let's do it your way. (Laughs.) However, I often turn out to be wrong. And this is also good - it gives me the opportunity to learn.
Threats and protection
How to keep up with new technologies today? How do you feel about new gadgets?
We are engaged in protection and in this sense we are in the rearguard of information technology. Protection always appears "after". Suppose a new gadget appears on the market. At first everyone is delighted, and then it turns out that the new super-technology has dual-use capabilities - for espionage, for stealing information, or new Trojans that are not recognized by current antiviruses work for them. Therefore, I do not like new gadgets - I think they are a priori unsafe, we just do not know these threats yet. So my husband and I were discussing whether to buy a new car. But I don’t want to - there is built-in Wi-Fi, the possibility of remote control, as in all modern cars. Now the car, like a computer, is susceptible to computer viruses. So I'll sit in my car until it breaks down (laughs).
Your business works to protect information, and today the trend is just the opposite: people tell everything about themselves, it’s as if there is no person if he doesn’t broadcast on social networks 24 hours a day...
Yes unfortunately. And such people then become victims of their talkativeness. Recently, a company announced that they allegedly released a tool that can determine a person's credit score by looking at a person's face. I don’t know how accurately this can be determined by the face, but from the posts in social network it is not difficult to establish the level of solvency of the subject. The task is purely technical, and the more he tells about himself, the more information for all the curious, including, of course, scammers. The less privacy, the more risk.
If I write on Facebook, then it passes the control of PR people. Our marketing service is in charge of posting, and I give content on a case-by-case basis. I see the social network as another communication channel - like your magazine, for example.
An article is circulating on the Internet that Silicon Valley gurus allegedly do not buy electronic gadgets for their children and generally give them to schools where they write with chalk on a blackboard. And how do you raise your children in this regard?
I think that this is very correct - I would also ban all electronics in schools, at least in the lower grades. For example, paper diaries were canceled for a daughter in the second grade, which means that someone writes tasks for her in electronic form, the child gets used to the fact that he does not need to remember anything, does not rely on his memory. Modern children are already absent-minded, there are too many distractions. Our eldest daughter is 11 years old, she has a computer, tablet, smartphone. I would not buy this either, but here we have a discrepancy with my husband - he believes that a child should be brought up in the style of modern information technologies. Indeed, it is very difficult to limit this: if you do not buy anything, children will still find access to the Internet. Moreover, the forbidden fruit is sweet, and the child may think that it is there, under lock and key, that the magic door to the shining world, where there are no dangers.
And how are you doing?
It is wrong to completely ban gadgets. It is better to increase employment - for example, our eldest daughter is engaged in dancing, music, English, drawing, modeling ... And of course, to explain: “You go online, you meet different people, including bad ones. You don’t have to make contact, and you certainly shouldn’t let yourself be drawn into something.” In my opinion, information security should be taught with kindergarten to build immunity to school. It's like knowing the rules of the road. After all, you can explain at different levels: the tale of Little Red Riding Hood is also about the fact that you don’t have to get acquainted with just anyone.
Family and career
How do you manage to take care of children, business at the same time and at the same time follow new technologies, trends, etc.?
I do not study new items personally - there is a special analytical department for this. And then my task as a leader is to understand what is worth doing. We try quite a lot of different technologies, we study startups - we bought a couple of companies this way.
How is your day, week?
It's very simple: there is a secretary who does the planning, taking into account my requirements. For example, several complex meetings for one day should not be set, and if there are many, then it is advisable to schedule them in one place. Twice a week I set aside time for writing texts and reading mail. I read the mail every day even in the evening. Weekends I try to spend with children in the country - this is a must. If I am invited somewhere on business these days, as a rule, I refuse. Well, then how it goes. It is clear that I can not be in time everywhere.
You and your husband are in the same business. Do you manage to leave work problems outside the doorstep?
Not always - production meetings periodically occur at home. And it's good if everything ends without a fight! (Laughs.) But somehow Igor and I manage to keep a balance. This is part of life, your own enterprise - like another child. True, I have not one, but a group of companies. So there are still children to take care of.
And what, even for the sake of business, are you not ready to sacrifice?
Family, children are sacred. Although you don't realize it right away. I have two "lots" of children - two sons are already adults, and when they grew up, I took less care of them. I spent a lot of time on Kaspersky Lab. Now I regret that I did not give the children what I could.
Are you one of richest women Russia. Money for you - what is it?
A resource with which you can do many different useful things.
And for yourself personally?
Well, of course, I can’t say that I wear bast shoes. There are such businessmen, very greedy, who do not spend on themselves at all - I am not one of them. But I think that it is necessary to satisfy basic needs, provide a certain standard of living for yourself and your family, and spend everything else on business entertainment - new products, companies, technologies.
Let's say you have a favorite brand of clothing?
I have interesting attitude to brands in general - because I know how to build them. You can take some thing and make a brand out of it. Therefore, I do not remember them and do not tremble before them. I choose clothes from what I like. I can remember: here in this I was comfortable. But next time, maybe I'll buy something completely different.
What will you say today to girls who would like to repeat your success?
I am afraid to give abstract advice. This is a kind of craftiness, and quite harmful. Life is multifaceted, people are different, situations are different. Perhaps the only advice that I like to repeat is that modern women are often addicted to their careers and do not think about children, about family, they put it off “for later”. And this is a mistake. No matter how much you make your career, it will eventually end anyway. It is better to have relatives next to you. Joyful children's clatter outside the door when you come home from work - nothing can be better than this!

Peter and Fevronia had five children: four sons and a sweet daughter. In honor of today's holiday, we decided to talk about modern well-known large families.
The Raskovalov family, four children
Vadim and Yana Raskovalov met at a social event and already in the early 2000s officially formalized their relationship. The wedding took place at the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo.
Vadim Raskovalov is a former owner of a network of St. Petersburg fitness clubs, and now a co-owner of Podium. Yana is not only a great mother, she has her own brand Yana Raskovalova, where she brings her author's ideas to life.
The couple now has four children - three daughters and one son. Yana gave birth to her fourth child recently, and from the first days after the birth she has been in great shape. Even on recent months pregnancy, the jeweler and designer showed off her body in fashion shoots without hesitation - and no wonder, because even in an interesting position the blonde looked great.
The Kaspersky-Ashmanov family, five children
Natalya Kasperskaya met Igor Ashmanov back in 1996, at the CeBIT exhibition in Hannover, while still married to Evgeny Kaspersky. As Natalya recalls, they began dating Igor three or four years after her divorce from her husband, and in 2001 they legalized their union.
Igor Ashmanov is a Managing Partner, CEO of Ashmanov & Partners, one of the founders and the most famous top managers of the Russian IT industry.
Since October 2007, Natalya Kasperskaya has been the CEO and majority owner of InfoWatch. This company was part of her share in the division of business with her ex-husband.
Natalia has two sons from her first marriage - Ivan and Maxim, and three daughters from her second - Maria, Varvara and Alexandra.
In interviews, Natalia often says that she would like to spend more time with her family, but business is another child of hers that needs to be looked after all the time. At the same time, Natalya believes that it is children who give a person an understanding that someone needs him, that there is someone to work for. And Natalya calls children her true value.
Vodianov-Arno family
Antoine first saw Natalya in 2008 - at that time she was married to the British Lord Justin Portman. Arno then headed the communications department of the Louis Vuitton fashion house, and Vodianova starred for an advertising campaign for this brand. For Antoine, it was love at first sight. But he decided to write to Natalya only when he read in the newspapers that she was divorced.
Thanks to Natalia, Arno truly discovered Russia for himself, began to better understand his beloved.
Natalia is sure that Antoine has a very strong sense of empathy. And that's why they love each other so much - they both have something important, something in common in their souls.
The couple has two sons - Maxim and Roman. Natalia also has three children from her marriage to Justin Portman - Lucas Alexander, Neva, Victor.
Arno jokes that thanks to Natalia, five children appeared in his life in two and a half years. At the same time, he quite seriously claims that this is the best thing that happened in his life.
The Thompson family, six children
Olga came to America at the age of 14. She studied at the ballet school in California, then at the art history department of Stanford University, worked at the Legion of Honor Museum as an exhibition curator. Her chosen one was the English photographer Charles Thompson. They met in New York in 2000, and in 2002 they got married in Yasnaya Polyana. In choosing the venue for the celebration, apparently, played big role Olga's passion for Tolstoy's work.
The family loves to travel around Russia - they were in the Tver region, in Vladimir, in Suzdal, they love to look for old dilapidated buildings. According to Charles, he sees in them layers of previous realities superimposed on each other. The whole family speaks excellent Russian.
Charles is still a professional photographer. Olga is a co-owner of Tissus Tartares, a designer fabric company.
Now the couple has six children - Tatyana, Alexander, Anastasia, Maria, Anna, Natalya.
The Thompsons often attend social events. So, for example, last year the whole family was seen at the Tatler debutante ball.
Aminov family
Stella and Vadim Aminov formalized their relationship in 2002. They have six children.
Vadim Aminov is a member of the board of directors of Neftetransservice, and his fortune in 2014 was estimated at $0.7 billion. Together with his wife, he owns a part of the shares of the Simachev brand, Stella's business is also developing and bringing in a good income. Stella is an example modern woman, who successfully combines parenting and business - she is the owner of the Five Kids boutique.
Photographer: Lena Sarapultseva
Over the years of their life together, Stella Aminova's husband transported his family from one country to another several times until they settled in Russia.
Aminov always wanted to have a big family, and his dream came true. But Stella always dreamed of a career. The couple now have six children. Daniel Nathan, twins Miriam and Rachel, Joseph and Aron.
Stella Aminova is very caring mother, and with each subsequent child, her sense of responsibility for children only increases. If she and her husband go somewhere, they definitely take the children with them, except, of course, for social events and events that do not involve a children's society.
We hasten to congratulate all couples on this wonderful holiday, glorifying love and strong relationships. We wish you all a long and happy union!
