About in brief
An ecologist by training, an entrepreneur by experience, and a veterans’ advocate by calling. My father and brother are war veterans, so this work is personal. At Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture I lead an institute where veterans find rehabilitation, a new profession and a job.
