Education[edit]

In 2001, he graduated from the International Solomon University with a bachelor's degree in economics. In 2016 he graduated from Ternopil National Economic University with a Bachelor of Laws degree, and in 2018 at the same university he received a master's degree in law.[2][7]

Business career[edit]

From 2001 to 2007, he worked as finance director of retail and entertainment network centres “Caravan”.[8]

From 2007 to 2009 – as a partner of the American-Ukrainian private architecture office “Laguarda Low Design and Development”.

From 2009 to 2014, Oleksandr Hranovskyi was a chairman of the board of directors of Assofit Holdings Limited.

From 2010 to 2014, he was the chairman of the supervisory board of the company Assofit Holdings Limited.[9]

Business conflict around Sky Mall[edit]

In 2006, Estonian businessman Hillar Teder began to build “SkyMall” shopping center in Kyiv. In 2010, due to the difficulties associated with the global economic crisis, Teder started looking for an investor for the project. That same year, businessman Andrey Adamovskiy through Assofit Holdings Limited invested $40 million in “SkyMall” and in return he got 50% plus 1 share of the shopping centre. Under the terms of the deal, Adamovskiy had to sell his share back for $50 million. But within the specified period, Adamovskiy refused to sell his share, arguing that Teder allegedly violated the terms of the deal. Legal proceedings that accompanied the dispute over the ownership of Assofit Holdings Limited were held in British, Cypriot and Ukrainian courts.

On June 9, 2011, the London court recognized that the businessman's termination of the shareholder agreement with Teder was legitimate and found that Teder has violated several terms of the deal.[10] The court also ordered an Estonian businessman to transfer a shareholder debt of about $100 million under the overall control of Adamovskiy and Teder. Teder has not yet fulfilled this arbitration award and it remains valid.

On July 13, 2012, Teder was finally refused to challenge the court decision, and on February 21, 2014, the said decision was recognized in Cyprus.

On October 28, 2014, the Goloseevsky District Court of Kyiv established that the obligation to transfer a shareholder debt of about $100 million under the overall control of Adamovskiy and Teder ceased due to the reissuing of the relevant claim rights from Filgate Credit Enterprises Enterprise Limited (control of the company was carried out by Teder) to Assofit Holdings Limited.

During the trial, the court found that Teder did not take any action to transfer these loans under the overall control with Adamovskiy. In addition, Teder carried out actions contrary to the commitment.

According to the results of consideration of the case, the court also found that Hillar Teder did not have the right to demand the transfer of the claim rights on shareholder debt to the company that is controlled by him and Adamovskiy. May 5, 2016 the London Court of International Arbitration decided to transfer all shares of Assofit Holdings Limited to the ownership of Arricano Real Estate Plc no later than June 5 of the same year. But no action followed, and Adamovskiy gained full control over “SkyMall”.[11]

Hranovskyi refuted the allegations of Teder and his lawyer in the raider seizure of “SkyMall”[12][13] and he announced the involvement of the estonian company Arricano in the leak of materials from the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine.[14]
