I initially served in the Presidential Guard of Honor and later became a company commander.
International Defense Cooperation
At the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, I spent five years as a Senior Liaison Officer with the Bilateral Ukrainian-American Office.

OSCE and Work in Conflict-Affected Environments
For more than eight years, I worked with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
As National Executive Officer and National Security Officer with the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine, I was responsible for security and administration, worked throughout the country—including conflict-affected areas on both sides of the contact line—and responded to real-world security incidents.

My Approach
I believe security is more than a set of rules or a response to a threat.
It is preparedness, clarity in decision-making, systematic thinking, and the ability to act under pressure.That is why my work combines practical experience, international perspectives, team training, and solutions designed to work in real-world environments.
Practicality
Solutions must work in real life.
A Systematic Approach
Security should be integrated into organizational processes rather than treated as a separate formality.
Resilience
The focus is not only on procedures, but also on the people who must act during a crisis.
Standards
International standards. Local experience.
Strong solutions combine global best practices with the realities of the Ukrainian operating environment.
