One evidenced T‑Bank recommender-systems mover — Sergey Kolesnikov — and no public date for the move
Asked:
who worked at T-Bank with recommender systems and changed the company between 2024 and 2026 years?
Web research surfaced exactly one verified match: a single-row shortlist naming the person, the T‑Bank roles and recommender-systems work, and the later employer. The change is visible by 2026, but the source page states no transition month or year.
Former employer
Tinkoff / T-Bank
Head of AI Research; R&D Lead
Led NLP, CV and RecSys teams; drove an AutoRecSys framework
Later employer, listed by 2026
Shadow Startup
Head of Applied Research
What stays unverified: Confirmed company change visible by 2026, but the public page does not state the exact transition date; no other fully evidenced mover was found.
His own professional page names the T‑Bank (Tinkoff) roles and the recommender-systems mandate directly —
scitator.com
The same page now lists the later role at Shadow Startup, confirming a company change visible by 2026 —

The dashed arrow above is deliberate: the exact transition month or year is not stated publicly, so a 2024–2026 move cannot be fully confirmed —

No other T‑Bank recommender-systems mover met the evidence bar; the shortlist holds one row —

Candidates without full public evidence were cut.
