Currently, our team has about 80 people. We have seven divisions: five operating businesses and two startups. ABC is a living organism built on the principle of full autonomy. We’re not dependent on external platforms; everything is done in-house — from technology to marketing.
Our structure is a holding company. At the strategic level, it’s just Stas and me. Below us is the board of directors, which turns ideas into strategy. Further down are the operational heads and team leads. We also have cross-functional groups assembled for specific tasks. This setup allows us to stay flexible and agile.
I’m not looking for subordinates. I’m a humanist. I identify more with a cat than a dog. You can’t keep a cat on a leash — but if you create the right environment, it will come to you on its own. The same goes for talent: people thrive in freedom, not under pressure.
We don’t have total control, but we focus on results and money. About 70% of the team are result-driven. Newcomers with a different mindset simply don’t fit in — the system itself rejects them
