Herman Gref (Russian: German Oskarovich Gref) is a Russian politician and businessman. He was the Minister of Economics and Trade of Russia from May 2000 to September 2007. He is the CEO and chairman of the executive board of Sberbank, the largest Russian bank. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees. He played a prominent role in the development and production of the Sputnik V vaccine

Education and early career

Herman Gref was born in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic (now Kazakhstan) into a family of German deportees who were exiled there in 1941. After fulfilling two years of military service, he studied law at Omsk State University in Siberia from 1985 to 1990.

He then moved to Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) and taught law at Leningrad University until completing his post-graduate degree in 1993. In 1992 – 1998 Gref worked on several positions at the Saint Petersburg City Administration.

Sberbank and COVID

In 2011, Herman Gref—CEO of Russia’s largest bank, and a member of JP Morgan’s International Council[1] — joined the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees. Gref’s Sberbank (which is majority-owned by the Russian government) has been a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum since 2008[2], and is aggressively pushing the climate change agenda in Russia.[3]

Gref played a prominent role in the development and production of the Sputnik V COVID-vaccine. He claims that he got the vaccine in April 2020 - which would make him one of the first people in the world to be injected with the drug. [4]

Sberbank is also working on implementing a QR code-based payment system in Russia.[5]

Work for the Russian government

In August 1998, Gref was appointed First Deputy Minister of State Property of the Russian Federation, and was a member of its board until 2000. He was also appointed to the board of the Federal Commission for the Securities Market of the Russian Federation and the board of state-owned Svyazinvest and Gazprom in 1999.

Gref was first appointed as Minister of the newly formed Ministry of Economic Development and Trade on May 18, 2000 and was reappointed to the position in the succeeding Cabinet in 2004.

Gref was a major advocate of Russia's joining the World Trade Organization.[6] He is also responsible for creation of the Stabilisation Fund.[7]

Gref was considered as one of the liberal reformers in Vladimir Putin's administration of the early and mid-2000s, besides Alexei Kudrin.

In January 2018, Gref was added to the US Treasury's "Kremlin list", a list of 210 officials, politicians and businessmen believed to be close to Vladimir Putin. According to the US Department of Treasury, the list is not a sanctions list and no restrictions are automatically imposed on its subjects.[8]
