Strategic Business Intermediary | Ukraine Market Specialist |
Fluent in English & French | Expat Consultant in Ukraine (Pre-Conflict) Currently based in London, England



I am a businessman, a consultant and strategic advisor with over two decade of experience operating at the intersection of business intelligence and international market entry—specifically in complex, high-stakes environments like Ukraine where I enjoy the privilege of relationships with the political leadership and heads of the Ukrainian armed forces.
From 2016 to early 2022, I was deeply embedded in the Ukrainian business landscape, providing bespoke consulting services to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), executives, and U.S. business entities seeking a trusted representative on the ground. I worked as a confidential liaison, facilitator, and strategic intermediary—ensuring operational clarity, cultural alignment, and regulatory compliance across every business touchpoint.
My core value proposition lies in my ability to combine technical acumen with geopolitical awareness and commercial discretion. I supported clients in structuring deals, navigating local regulations, coordinating logistics, managing local partnerships, and handling sensitive commercial interests across a wide range of industries including defense, IT, Agritech, energy and financial services.

Personal Note
As a devoted family man, blessed with a wonderful wife and two exceptional children, I find myself at a stage in life where purpose and legacy take precedence. I am increasingly focused on creating meaningful impact—particularly through strategic support for social justice and environmental causes that align with my values.
I have been blessed by Ukraine and found financial success in that market. The Ukrainian market holds deep personal and professional significance for me.

In the meantime, I remain steadfast in sharing my experiences and advising clients with the highest levels of discretion, insight, and trust as they navigate the world’s more nuanced and complex markets.
