Every three weeks, Serhiy Haydaychuk, founder and president of CEO Club Ukraine, steps onto a plane and flies out of Ukraine. While Russian shells and rockets continue to fall on
For much of his professional life, Haydaychuk has brought together Ukrainian and foreign business leaders to improve his country.At the Rebuild Ukraine Business Conference held in Toronto in late November, dignitaries from Ukraine and Canada, including Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, gathered at the King Edward Hotel to begin talking about the postwar future.
How did your work as president of the CEO Club change after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February? But on the other hand, we understand that in order to survive we have to grow globally. Before the war, there were a lot of restrictions and fears. Most businessmen around the world thought Ukraine’s business community wasn’t prepared for global expansion. Today, we have lost all barriers to that, and many Ukrainian business leaders are starting to expand their global operations.
The first reason is global recognition. Today, the whole world knows Ukraine. Our brand is associated with values like courage, bravery, creativity. The whole Western bloc — the U.S, Canada, European Union and Japan — are ready to be our strategic partners. There are also about 70 million Ukrainians, both in Ukraine and globally, united as never before. They have created thousands of horizontal organizations and teams and generated huge amounts of trust and co-operation.
