About

I'm a strategic advisor with 14+ years of experience in manufacturing, textiles, and international markets.I specialize in helping companies navigate complex situations — from crisis management to scaling and entering new markets.Over the past decade, I led a large textile manufacturing and export company (650+ employees, 3 production facilities), taking on the CEO role at the most critical moment — just one week before the full-scale war in Ukraine.During this period, I stabilized operations, expanded production capacity, opened new manufacturing directions, and scaled both team and sales in highly uncertain conditions.I bring a combination of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, with deep experience in global supply chains and international business development.Today, I advise companies on:• Crisis management and growth strategy• International procurement, supplier sourcing and contract negotiations• Textile and manufacturing partnerships, including factory audits and production setup• Market entry and export expansion across Europe and global markets• Cooperation with international organizations, tenders and procurement systems• Grants, fundraising and investment readinessI have worked with international organizations and development programs, including USAID, GIZ and others, and have hands-on experience in securing grants and building partnerships.I have represented Ukraine and the textile industry internationally, including participation in Rebuild Ukraine initiatives (Washington), engagement with global stakeholders, and visits to international institutions and supply chains (e.g. Copenhagen).My experience includes global sourcing and market work across Europe, Asia, the US and the Middle East, as well as participation in key international trade fairs and industry platforms.I work with businesses that need clarity, structure and strong decisions — especially when the stakes are high.Currently open to selected strategic advisory roles, international projects, and partnerships.
