Bio

Artem was born on July 29, 1988 in Moscow, where he entered school No. 278. He graduated from school with a gold medal. Since the 10th grade, he has been actively engaged in school self-government in the role of chairman of the school council. As a result of those activities he was rewarded a participation as a tutor in a camp for volunteers` Moscow city leaders, which was located in the Republic of Bulgaria at the age of 16.

After school graduation Artem was admitted to Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MSUCE) which graduated with a degree in “Economics and Management at an Enterprise (in construction)” with honors. He continued to engage in public activities in the role of the head of the programs of volunteer summer camps and a coordinator of Moscow city educational projects, working at non-profit organization “House of Children volunteer organizations” by the Public Relationships Committee of Moscow from the age of 17.

From the 3rd year of the Institute, together with a group of friends and like-minded people, he found a project on developing educational tourism “Out to Town” that provided traveling through Russia and nearest countries. At the same time Artem became a CEO of this company legally. In the next two years, he was leading the venture and reached positive financial metrics in this field. He also created and tested his basic principles and main approaches for businesses.

While Artem was in 4th year of the University`s he interned in a production and construction company, where he was being promoted from the intern in project department to Chief development officer (CDO). Further, he was engaged in organizing and coordinating the activities of the sales department of the company.

In the fall of 2010, he realized the impossibility of further professional growth and, after consulting with the employer, left the company together with some of his colleagues. The result of this was the foundation of LLC “Leber Group”, which in the first year of work surpassed all the indicators of the company he left.

At the moment, the company has about 80 office employees and more than 200 skill workers. It has own and outsource production facilities in Moscow and other regions of Russia, which are utilized for making company`s products. Leber Group assembles play equipment in more than 150 objects per month such as yards, recreation zones and elementary schools, and also realizes government contracts in Moscow regions and whole country.

From 2015 to 2017, together with colleagues, he developed the division of construction frame wooden houses. During the period, more than 10 houses were built and a return on investment was achieved.

Artem was the ideologist, writer and editor of the book "Leber Group: the deals in the hills", which was released in a limited edition in 2020 at the company's tenth anniversary. The book is based on stories about the organization told by employees and partners. The most famous design studio in Russia Art. Lebedev Studio wrote about the cover: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJL5cQnSDU/



Since 2021, he has also headed the Board of directors of the Ltd “PRIORITY”, which is the exclusive and official dealer of the Leber Group trademark. Artem also drives the company’s investment projects.

Over the years, he has accumulated not only practical experience in finance, sales, corporate construction, logistics and production, but also continuously improved his qualifications through additional education. As a result he completed courses in entrepreneurship, programming, production organization, finance, macroeconomics, building a digital organization and received diplomas from educational institutions such as Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan School of Management, Florida National University, University of Illinois, Google Learning Center, Wharton Business School, Georgia Tech University, Russian School of Management.
