Golden Telecom bids farewell to CFO

MOSCOW, Russia (October 1, 2001) —Golden Telecom, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLDN), the leading integrated provider of voice, data and Internet services across Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, announced today that it has accepted the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer, David Wisher, effective December 31, 2001.  Mr. Wisher has decided to pursue other opportunities.

 

Mr. Wisher commented, “I’m proud of my record of service to Golden Telecom and I will miss my colleagues.  However, I believe that I have helped the company meet its major challenges for the foreseeable future and that I leave it on solid financial footing and in capable hands. It was a personal decision.  I now hope to apply my knowledge and experience to new challenges elsewhere.”

 

“David will be missed,” said Golden Telecom president and CEO, Stewart Reich.  “He played a key role in bringing Golden Telecom public in 1999 and has stewarded the finances of this company with skill and tenacity.  Most important, he helped instill the discipline of complete financial transparency that continues to distinguish us in the Russian market.  We wish him every success in the future.”

 

Until a new CFO is announced, David Stewart, CFO of Golden Telecom’s primary operating unit, TeleRoss, will assume Mr. Wisher’s duties and responsibilities.
