What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Head of Operational Resilience, Head of Non-Financial Risk, or Head of Internal Controls role with an EU institution or financial institution.

At Cembra Money Bank, I supported operational resilience through a two-country merger, aligning resilience and ICT risk management with DORA and EBA guidelines. I also led the Risk Control Architecture and Catalogue and RCSA across operational, financial, strategic, ESG and IT risks.

At Ukrainian Railways, I built and led the ERM function from scratch for 250,000 employees and 30+ subsidiaries. Earlier, at the National Bank of Ukraine, I built the operational risk function and contributed to banking-sector regulations; I’m currently delivering EU-funded projects and contributing to the EU Social Economy Action Plan review.
