After work, I looked out of my gym window and saw this view of Kyiv. The Ukrainian flag, the Lavra, the Motherland Monument. And darkness across residential neighborhoods. A beautiful city living through another difficult night. I hope one day these windows will shine again.

Oschadbank and @TetraTech have launched a partnership to turn the energy and infrastructure needs of communities and businesses into well prepared projects capable of attracting financing and strengthening Ukraine’s energy resilience. #Oschadbank #TetraTech #Energy #Ukraine

Oschadbank and @EIB signed a €30m EU grant agreement for frontline communities under Ukraine District Heating, complementing €50m in EIB loans. My colleagues and I helped prepare the programme. Next step: financing the first community projects. #EIB #Oschadbank #ukraine

Air raid alerts again in Kyiv and across Ukraine. It is hard to describe how awful it feels to know that you, your loved ones, and civilians across the country may once again become targets for ballistic missiles and drones. I am so sick and tired of this 🤬

Banks can be more than lenders. They can help turn socially important ideas into financeable projects by connecting business, communities, donors, guarantees, technical assistance and real needs.

Social entrepreneurship does not work through one player. The state creates rules. Donors provide grants and guarantees. Business proves the model. Banks scale what works. Communities bring real needs and trust.

Without transparency, there is no trust. Without trust, there is no capital. The first product many social enterprises need is not a loan. It is preparation for a loan: business model, reporting, risk structure, cash flow and measurable impact.

At #Kyiv #Impact #Entrepreneurs Meetup #5, I spoke about impact economy as a practical tool for Ukraine’s recovery. For banks, impact should become measurable: jobs created, communities supported, inclusion, resilience and sustainability. Impact should be part of KPIs. #ukraine

From Kyiv to Warsaw, and then on to Seoul. Business, kimchi and a little jet lag ahead 🇰🇷 🇺🇦 Also, very grateful it’s not Delhi at +43°C.

Investors do not come to the country with the best presentations and the best conferences. They come where there are clear rules, speed, accountability and a predictable logic of decision-making. #Investment #UkraineRecovery #Capital #Governance #BusinessClimate

Resilience without efficiency becomes expensive survival. Ukrainian business has already proven it can withstand shocks. The next question is whether we can build an economy that not only survives, but grows fast. #Ukraine #Resilience #Efficiency #Business #Growth

SMEs are not always asking for the cheapest money. Very often, they need fast decisions, simple procedures and predictable rules. Sometimes bureaucracy is more expensive than the interest rate. #SME #Business #Finance #Ukraine #Entrepreneurship
