Born in Russia and raised in the United States after the Soviet collapse, you rise to become the world’s second-richest individual, known as the “Battery King.” After co-founding Nautlix Inc. and stepping away post-IPO, you transform Volta Group into a global leader in advanced manufacturing and energy.
