About Egor Kulkov

Egor Kulkov created Pharmstandard together with Viktor Kharitonin, Roman Abramovich and others by combining five factories bought from ICN Pharmaceuticals in 2003.

Kulkov and Kharitonin bought out their partners in 2008. Kulkov still has a stake in, and sits on the board of, Pharmstandard, now Russia's leading pharmaceutical firm.

The partners also have stakes in Russian pharma firms OTCPharm, Biocad and Generium, one of the makers of the Sputnik V covid vaccine.

Kulkov is the largest shareholder of British medical technology firm CMR Surgical, which makes the surgical robotic system Versius.
