From now on, the Department (former Directorate) of Information Technology, Automation and Telecommunications (ITAT) of Gazprom Neft is also subordinate to him. The heads of the Digital Transformation and ITAT departments are the former heads of the directorates of the same names - Oleg Tretyak and Anton Dumin, respectively.
