Igor Mariovich Ostrovsky was born in 1971 in the Tver region. Father - Mario Archetto, a Mexican citizen who left the USSR due to non-renewal of an educational visa. Mother - Ostrovskaya Natalya. Until the age of 8, he was brought up by his mother's parents. At the age of 12, he moved to Moscow to a foster family: he was adopted by Maslova Natalya Vladimirovna and Maslov Anatoly Grigoryevich (Igor took the surname and patronymic of his adoptive father). Natalya Vladimirovna was the Deputy Head of the Department of the Scientific Library. M. Gorky, and Anatoly Grigorievich headed educational institution"Station of Young Tourists" under the Ministry of Education of the USSR.
In 1989 he entered the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Department of Social Philosophy. All the time Igor studied the issue of effective communications, and thesis defended on the topic "Information and communication processes in the social environment." In his second year of university, Igor got his first entrepreneurial experience by creating a real estate management company (about 15 employees). In 1994, Igor completely handed over the management of the real estate business to his partner, and he himself moved to Hermes Center Bank, where he very quickly rose from an intern to the head of a department. Initiative, extreme diligence, tough business acumen, absolute determination - these qualities turned out to be decisive success factors. Soon, together with his team, Igor stood out in the VIP customer service department, which provided services for comprehensive support business. A year later, its results exceeded all expectations of the Bank's management. Thus, in 1996, the VIP service department was transformed into an independent branch of Moskomprivatbank, which immediately turned out to be the absolute market leader in all respects.
In 2001, Igor Mariovich established Prado Bank (from the Spanish prado - multicolor, flowering meadow), and in 2002 he created the PRADO Banker and Consultant or PRADO Group consulting and financial holding.

The bank passes to businessmen close to the structures of Gazprom, and successfully continues to work to this day. Soon after, a company was established - KSK group (Capital. Service. Consulting).

Igor Mariovich Ostrovsky was born in 1971 in the village of Kushalino, Tver Region. Mario Archetto's father, a Mexican citizen who left the USSR in 1970. Mother Ostrovskaya Natalya. Igor was brought up by his grandfather Pavel Petrovich Ostrovsky, the head of the Kushalinsky military forestry, until the age of 8. When my grandfather died and my grandmother became seriously ill, Igor got a useful experience of independence.
At the age of 12, Igor moved to Moscow, and in 1989 he entered the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. In the second year of university, Igor created his first business related to operations in the real estate market. The company employed up to 15 employees.
In 1994, Igor handed over the management of the real estate business to his partner, and he himself went to work at Hermes Center Bank. The goal is to develop a career in business. Igor started from the bottom step - the position of an intern. Career developed quickly: trainee, courier, teller, junior economist, deputy head of department. Initiative, extreme diligence, tough business acumen, absolute determination - these qualities turned out to be decisive success factors. Four months after coming to work, the bank's management supported Igor's initiative, and he became the head of the VIP client service department he created on his own. From this moment we count the history of KSK groups. It was then, as part of the VIP service, that Igor provided clients with comprehensive business support services, including accounting, legal and IT support. There were no analogues on the market.
As the leaders of the directions, Igor attracted his university classmates. It was then that the main principles of the company were formulated: business consulting and outsourcing as products, complexity and focus on key task business, focus on the owner, manager and directors as customers, maximum relevance of solutions, ultimate quality; not state, not resource, but real business as a target client; primary focus on the Moscow market.
The success in a year exceeded all expectations of the banking management. In 1996, the VIP service department was transformed into an independent branch of Moskomprivatbank, which immediately turned out to be the absolute leader in all respects.
In 2001, Igor Ostrovsky established Prado Bank (in Spanish, PRADO means “multicolor, flowering meadow”), and in 2002 he created the PRADO Banker and Consultant consulting and financial holding, or PRADO GROUP.
The holding quickly became a unique phenomenon in the Moscow market. A comprehensive service to improve and maintain the main business functions, more than 400 products that provided all the needs of a turnkey business, the highest quality and a customer-oriented approach - all this has become the hallmark of the holding.
By 2006, the holding had grown. Against the backdrop of sophisticated processes, highest quality, a unique product line, an excellent team, there were also negative symptoms of bureaucracy, especially in the top management of the holding, the lack of a flexible and mobile response to the challenges of the time.
Igor Ostrovsky was able to foresee the scale and some of the consequences of the development of the global crisis, which in 2006 manifested itself in the rapid growth of assets and the mortgage crisis in the United States. Igor decides to restructure the holding and sell the bank, and separate some of the consultants into separate legal entities and outsource. In February 2007, Ostrovsky completes the structuring of the deal for the sale of Prado Bank, which lasted almost a year. The bank passes to businessmen close to the structures of Gazprom and continues to work successfully to this day. According to the signed agreement, the PRADO trademark had to be sold. Soon, the successor company of KSK groups was established - “Capital. Service. Consulting.
KSK, having taken all the best that was in PRADO, nevertheless differs greatly in its development strategy and business organization. KSK has become a much more mobilized and mobile team, with stricter internal discipline and management requirements. Of course, this had a remarkable impact on the quality and execution of projects and processes.
Ostrovsky Igor Mariovich, Senior Partner of KSK Group:
“I sincerely believe that entrepreneurship in Russia can and should exist peacefully, relying on its own resources and reliable consultants, and not relying on “maybe” or help from above. I adhere to 3 principles in life and in business: 1) “Easier, easier and even easier”; 2) "Less snobbery - more optimism"; 3) "Honesty is the best policy!"
