We have been hearing more and more about privatization lately. At the same time, more and more often, questions arise: “Which is better - state or private form of ownership? And does the state need to keep all non-core facilities and illiquid assets on balance?”

This Saturday, together with Kostiantyn Koshelenko, Deputy Chairman of the State Property Fund, we will try to understand these issues and discuss:

•       What opportunities does transparent privatization create for business, society, and the state?

•       What is the potential of privatization, and what are the already successful cases of privatization?

•       What are the similarities between the managerial experience in the banking sector and the State Property Fund? And what are the differences between working in private and public structures? What the state expects from business and what business can expect from the state?

As Deputy Chairman of the State Property Fund of Ukraine, Kostiantyn oversees the regional network and provides regional cooperation with the business environment, the media and local authorities to attract investments through privatization and lease of state property.

Before joining the Fund, he worked as Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of “Forward Bank”, Business Director of “EasyPay” payment terminals, Chairman of the Management Board of “Trust Bank”, and Director of the Alternative Sales Channels Department of “Delta Bank” JSC.

Mr. Koshelenko participated in the development of regional networks and digital transformation of banking institutions, as well as the implementation of projects Bank.ID, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and mobile applications.

He gained experience in project management, including the Agile methodology. Along his professional path, he received awards for the efficiency of regional departments, customer service, and the launch of innovative products.

He has three degrees in management, finance, and computer networks, and an MBA degree from the Kyiv-Mohyla Business School [kmbs].

This event will be held within the framework of the Swiss-Ukrainian Project "Strengthening Membership Business Associations of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises", implemented by the United Nations Development Program in Ukraine (UNDP) in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and with the support of Switzerland.
