Inspire

I was born and raised in Ukraine, one of the largest European countries with the richest natural resources and wonderful people.

I live in the picturesque city of Kyiv, one of the greenest capitals in the world, with my wife Diana and my beautiful daughter Maria. My wife and I have been in consulting and people development for a long time. This is what we like to do. This inspires us to grow our business and look for new opportunities.

Even though I devote a lot of time to business, I try to live a balanced life for my family. I believe in what is called quality time. This is when you give all of yourself, all the attention, care, and help to a person, as if he or she is the only person on the planet for you. I practice quality time with my family. I try to have the same approach with my friends and co-workers if possible.

I play football regularly. Also, I play drums in an amateur rock band. We are happy to perform the classic rock ballads of Scorpions, Metallica, and Bon Jovi. We also wrote a few songs dedicated to friendship, love, and the heroic people who defend the freedom of our country.

I love to create. Creation is my passion. Whether it's a new service, a challenging project, or a new song. I like the quote “Impossible is nothing”, attributed to Muhammad Ali. I believe that each of us is capable of great accomplishments if we overcome our limitations. And together people are capable of even more.
