Elena Gromkova has been named the head of NGS.RU, a Novosibirsk-based website that is part of the Gorodskiye Media Shkulev Holding.

Gromkova’s appointment follows her previous role as editor-in-chief at the publication. According to Olga Prokhorova, editorial director of Gorodskiye Media Shkulev Holding, Elena has been with NGS.RU for 15 years, progressing into a capable leader with a strong understanding of her team and the city of Novosibirsk.
