Early career

Mikheil Lomtadze established his first company Georgia Consulting Group Audit in 1995, while being a student. The company provided audit and consulting services. In 2002, Lomtadze successfully sold the firm, which became part of the Ernst & Young global network.[9]

He then began his career at Russian largest private equity fund Baring Vostok Capital Partners – first as a project manager[10] and then as a partner.[11]

Kaspi.kz

Mikheil has transformed Kaspi Bank, which has been around since 1991, into Kaspi.kz, a highly profitable fintech. He “refounded” and incorporated Kaspi.kz Joint Stock Company in 2008 and has decisively revolutionized the traditional business. [12] [13] [14]

Lomtadze saw a competitive advantage of Kaspi in technologies and service, reallocated resources, rebranded [15] the company and began building the business ecosystem. [16] For now it combines a number of services for individuals and retail companies, provides an online platform for goods purchase and sale and a mobile app [17] in addition to the standard banking products – deposits, loans and payment transfers [18]

In 2018, Lomtadze announced plan to hold an IPO, and a year later he postponed London listing due to uncertainty in international stock markets and in the global technology sector, in particular [19]. The move proved fruitful — Kaspi.kz was oversubscribed by five times and valued at $6.5 billion [20] and its IPO was recognized as the second largest and the fourth in all of Europe in 2020 [21]

According to the Kazakh business press, Kaspi.kz managed by Mikheil Lomtadze is among the most successful projects in Kazakhstan and plays a significant role in the evolution of second-tier banks of Kazakhstan into marketplaces. [22]

From 2018 to 2021, Mikheil Lomtadze was recognised as the best CEO in Kazakhstan according to the Kazakhstan Growth Forum.[26][27][28]

In 2017-2021, Mikhail was recognised as the best business leader of Kazakhstan; according to the respondents of the PricewaterhouseCoopers study, the Chairman of the Management Board Kaspi.kz is a leader in the use of advanced technologies in Kazakhstan, and has such characteristics as adaptive traits, strategic vision and focus on customer.[29][30][31][32][33]

In June 2020, he was awarded the People’s Gratitude medal for a significant contribution to COVID-19 pandemic response in Kazakhstan.[34] Vyacheslav Kim and Mikheil Lomtadze, the founders of Kaspi.kz, provided financial support to the coronavirus-busting effort by allocating 100 million tenge to the healthcare system of the Republic of Kazakhstan for purchasing rapid antigen tests and ventilators[35][36], as well as providing free 100 ambulances.[37]

In 2020, for the first time in its history, the Forbes Kazakhstan magazine announced two winners of the Businessman of the Year Award – Vyacheslav Kim, the founder of Kaspi.kz, and Mikheil Lomtadze, the Chairman of the Management Board of the company.[38] According to the editorial team, a key factor in selecting two representatives of the same company was an unprecedented successful of Kaspi.kz on the London Stock Exchange in October 2020.[39]
