I bet you don’t know much about Marina Granovskaya.

But I have some more interesting facts about her (not tones of them, but nevertheless). So I’m staring a thread on Marina!

Your likes - new facts incoming

Marina was born in 1975, probably in Moscow.
She finished school (where choreography and music were the in depth studied subjects) and in 1997 she graduated from Moscow State Uni (Faculty of foreign lang-s).

MSU is one of the famous buildings here in Moscow. Also my uni :)

After graduation she came to an oil company of Mr Abramovich, called Sibneft.

You can remember Sibneft’s logo on CSKA Moscow shirts, when Chelsea played against them in the Champions League 15 years ago.

One of the professors in the uni said, that he never saw any special talent in Marina in case of economics or management.

Nowadays he admits he was wrong.

In 6 years in Sibneft Marina made a career - she became owner’s assistant.

In 2003, when mr A. bought Chelsea, Marina also went to London. There she was working in Roman’s invest company called Millhouse.

Closer to the end of 00-s she began to be more involved in football.

2009, Drogba’s madness after CL semis.
Didier scored only 5 goals in PL 08/09. Half of the Chelsea’s board were believed to be interested in selling Drogba.
But Marina was against. She wasn’t officially a part of the board, but her opinion was respected. You know what was next!
