Director, Retail Structured Products & Investment Solutions @ Sber CIB
Founder @ SynApps
Artem
Medvedev.
I make financial products that actually help people decide - and make money for the business.
14+ years in investments, fintech and wealth management. Since 28 September 2026, leading retail structured investment solutions at Sber CIB. In parallel, I remain the founder of SynApps. Previously Head of MTS Investments / CPO.
Why me
From the client desk to Sber CIB and my own AI product
I combine hands-on work with clients and investment products, P&L and product ownership at Alfa-Bank, BCS, Sber, SberFirst and MTS, and the practical experience of building an AI product from zero. Today I focus on retail structured investment solutions at Sber CIB while continuing to build SynApps.

My own product
SynApps
SynApps brings portfolio, risk, market context and scenarios into a single picture before a financial action - without replacing the investor's decision.
It is an independent analytical layer: not a broker, not asset management, not a buy/sell signal service.
