Bio

A dedicated and skilled professional with a strong academic background and diverse practical experience in the fields of energy policy and security, energy transition, and green hydrogen.

I am committed to an affordable and just energy transition in the EU and to the sustainable reconstruction of Ukraine's energy sector.
