Currently I live in France, but my homeland is Ukraine, and most of my working activities are still connected with it. I started my career in the PR realm when I was 18. At 20 years old, I made my first project as an entrepreneur. Ukraine gave me lots of opportunities to boost my career path and improve my leadership skills, and thanks to the favorable environment, my agency still holds a firm position in the niche. As a women-entrepreneur in the tech industry, I regularly stumble on problems and stereotypes related to gender. Ambitious and empowered women face such issues like impostor syndrome and glass ceiling. That is why, my partner and I decided to help other women move forward in their careers, find role models and get mentoring whether it is needed. Originally we have started with the main goal of supporting women in a mainly male-dominated tech industry. After the full-fledged war in Ukraine started, we changed our focus to supporting women who were forced to flee and adapt to new countries and markets. We have a broad network of professionals worldwide that helped our members to integrate to new ecosystems. Currently, Wtech has more than 5 000 members and 50 volunteers within the community. Now we support female leaders in 20 countries
