Achievements

1. As a Director of the Department of International Affairs of Kiev regional branch of the Association of Ukrainian cities from October 2009 till October 2011 I organized several business trips of mayors and regional deputies to cities and administrations of other countries. One of such trips was to Italy, Region Marche. As a result of such trips we have twinning contracts between cities achieved, which included cooperation not only in cultural and educational spheres but also in economic and entrepreneur spheres. It was really a big result because it gave many results in ongoing life and work of Ukrainian cities. Many of them until now cooperate and work together. I think it was my great work because what I had organized still lives and works now.

2. Being a Director of Kiev company “Easyfood” from April 2013 till September 2014 I created this companies, wrote a site for this company, found suppliers, took personnel, opened bank accounts for this company, found a good office, organized financing for Easyfood and did many small things. I could say that I created a child. In this situation I got a very good experience in opening and management of a new company, which still exists and works.

3. In NGO Euroleader I made weekly a Newsletter on the recent situation in the East of Ukraine and the Crimea, on human rights in today Ukraine. I prepared and composed 50 editions of this Newsletter in Ukrainian and English languages. This Newsletter war one of the best in Ukraine and now NGO Euroleader got a grant from one Swedish foundation for a further developing of this activity. It means I gave a push for such a good and useful initiative, which will be developed further.
