Summary
Sergey Zonov is a technical project manager with over a decade of experience delivering complex industrial and chemical projects from lab concept to commercial operation, currently leading a residue hydrotreating (VRDS) project at Gazprom Neft. He has a proven track record optimizing production and R&D programs—at SIBUR he led a 15-person team whose process improvements raised EBITDA by over 1.2 billion RUB annually and prioritized nearly 300 ESG improvement tasks. Sergey blends hands-on engineering (PFD/P&ID, FEED, catalysts scale-up) with procurement, financial control and stakeholder engagement across government and licensor interfaces. He has launched greenfield and brownfield sites internationally (Malaysia, Australia), cut construction and production costs through pragmatic site selection and supplier strategies, and introduced KPI-driven operations that expanded product ranges. Comfortable managing multidisciplinary teams and billion-ruble budgets, he pairs technical depth from a chemical engineering background with practical commercial instincts and cross-cultural execution experience.
