Iryna

I speak one language with civil servants and official papers and collect all the team's achievements in digital format.

For more than 11 years I worked in public service and ministries. This significant experience gives a clear vision of the mechanisms of interaction and organization of effective cooperation with public services from the stage of submission of an idea to a constructive dialogue  at the official level and conclusion of memorandums of cooperation.

I stay in Ukraine and will not leave my city. This decision was made from the beginning of the full-scale war, and now it has become even stronger. At the same time, and despite the difficult circumstances, I had a desire to help everyone who needs it. So, in the first weeks of war I started volunteer work: helped animals and their owners, the elderly, mothers with children. The war united all those who experienced the war in Ukraine and, in particular, in the capital that was defending itself. Later, I joined the humanitarian mission of UFEES, because even before the outbreak of hostilities I was in the team of the Union's digital partner. So, I actively joined the work of the Headquarters and began to coordinate the necessary processes of support and assistance.

The team has more tasks and goals now, and this fact motivates me to move towards the victory and at the same time work for the benefit of a strong and successful future of Ukraine. Today, I coordinate a number of important areas of the team's work. I help to create and maintain electronic information services, interact with government agencies and organizations, and deal with issues of digitalization, digital transformation and digital development of Ukrainian communities that have suffered the most as a result of the military aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine.

I am happy to be part of the team that strengthens and changes Ukraine and sets the trend for the whole world.
