Who is Nikita Izmaylov?
Many people on the territory of Ukraine have probably heard about the existence of sportbank, and a certain part of them are very likely users. One of the main investors of this project is Nikita Izmailov. He may also be familiar from his work with the bookmaker's office Paris Match, where he earned his main capital and currently continues to support new promising fintech startups.
It was after his activity in BC that PM started his own business, which is also a household name - the manufacture of healthy drinks Eat Easy. And the profile investment fund N1 deserves attention.
Where was Nikita born and studied?
The future businessman was born in 1987 in Nikolaev, Ukraine. From an early age he became interested in entrepreneurship, and that's why he was looking for a suitable profession. My choice fell on audit and accounting.
Already in his second year he became the founder of a satirical newspaper called Bag. Its circulation reached 10 thousand copies and, even with regular editions, it quickly became clear that it would not be possible to get rich on it. I reached the break-even point in this business, but I wanted to move on.
In 2009 I graduated from university and received a master's degree. After that I began working actively as a senior auditor at KMPG. In just three years I achieved good results and was promoted. It must be said that good specialists work in such positions for about 6 years to be promoted.
Already in 2012 Nikita is the CFO of PMBL, this continued until 2016, after which he became its managing partner and shareholder.
After this activity began his currently successful startup Eat Easy was in 2016, healthy drinks are very popular.
In 2017, Izmailov acts as one of the shareholders of JKR Investment Group.
Just a year later, he became a major investor in a profile fintech fund called N1. This project's portfolio includes another notorious venture, sportbank.
At the moment the latter is in the list of the best by growth of client base, and by dynamics of growth of card holders it enters in TOP-5. This says a lot. The shareholder and investor himself is included in the TOP CEO in 2021 under 40 years old.
He combines his professional activities with his family life. Nikita is married with three children. At the same time he regularly engages in sports, and in general promotes a healthy lifestyle. And the sportbank project is also an active motivation for athletes, both beginners and professional, and a maximum empowerment through good functionality.
