What happened to Dima Borisov. The famous restaurateur told NV why he transferred his gastro empire to his ex-wife and what he will do

Dmytro Borisov transferred his entire GastroFamily restaurant business to his ex-wife Olena Borisova. Does this mean that the 44-year-old restaurateur has completely retired from business? After all, Borisov has both fixed goals and renewed dreams. Does he have a plan? In his own recent address on YouTube, Borisov did not look confused, although he said: “There have been so many events in recent times that have made me rethink whether I am doing what I should, or whether I am on the right path.” And he added to this that after the divorce and leaving the family business, he is now starting life with a clean slate.

However, this is not entirely true. Borisov’s life sheet, to say the least “painted” by his seven children and his dozens, if not hundreds, of restaurants around the world. Having combined his parental experience with entrepreneurial experience, he begins a career as a mentor.

About this, as well as where the restaurant business of the world in general and the Ukrainian one is moving, NV talked with the gastro entrepreneur in a light and ironic manner. They remembered the temptations of the past and the luxury of the future. About new formats and old habits. We started with Tesla and ended with psychology.

— I will immediately ask you for permission, can we switch to you in the interview on the basis of the fact that we have known each other for a long time?

– Well, of course. It will be easier that way.

— I remembered exactly when and under what circumstances we met you. Autumn 2014 in the government premises. At that time, there was a discussion of a draft law on the abolition of VAT and excise duty on imported electric cars for three years. And you were one of those who fought for such a result. Would you like me to remind you of what I wrote about you in my article?
