Transforming businesses and creating impact has always been at the core of what I do. In 2010, I took on the challenge of saving Osnovy Publishing from bankruptcy. What started as a leap of faith turned into a 14-year journey of growth and transformation, ultimately turning the company into an internationally recognized brand. In 2024, I sold the business, closing one chapter and stepping into a new phase of opportunity. Today, I am the co-founder of Empower Impact Academy, an AI-powered learning platform designed for change-makers. Our mission is to empower nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs, and impact investors by providing them with the tools, skills, and knowledge to drive real, measurable social and environmental impact. It’s about equipping those on the frontlines of change with everything they need to succeed. I am the Strategic Advisor at the Tokarev Foundation, a Ukrainian philanthropic foundation driving social change through initiatives in EdTech and HealthTech. My work focuses on building global partnerships, leveraging data, and developing strategies that maximize the foundation’s impact. Alongside this, I dedicate time to mentoring founders and executives, helping them transform their businesses and lives. I guide leaders to align their personal vision with their business strategy, navigate challenges, and take intentional steps toward meaningful growth and fulfillment. I hold an Executive MBA from Oxford’s Saïd Business School, where I focused on strategy and transformation within the impact sector. My journey has been shaped by experiences such as being an Emergent Ventures Fellow and an alumna of the Young Leaders Program at the Aspen Institute Central Europe, the Ukrainian School of Political Studies, the Philanthropy for Impact Learning Journey, and UWC of the Adriatic. Each of these experiences strengthened my global perspective and deepened my commitment to fostering meaningful change. As a mother of three, I believe in mindful living—balancing a demanding professional life with practices that keep me grounded, like meditation, running, and spending quality time with my family.
