Yevhen Dibrov appointed as East Office’s new representative in Ukraine

Janne Harjunpää, CEO of East Office: Yevhen combines two things that rarely go together: deep local knowledge of Ukraine’s operating environment, and a first-hand understanding of how Finnish companies think and work. His appointment strengthens our ability to support East Office companies in Ukraine at a time when presence and continuity matter more than ever.

Yevhen Dibrov: I am honored to be appointed as the representative of East Office in Ukraine. At this critical time for Ukraine and the region, I see a unique opportunity to strengthen the economic ties between Finnish industries and Ukrainian partners. My focus will be on building long-term partnerships, supporting sustainable reconstruction, and promoting Finnish innovations in Ukraine. I look forward to working closely with both Finnish companies and Ukrainian stakeholders to create shared value and lasting impact.

East Office’s current Government Relations Director in Ukraine, Vasyl Shvets, will leave his position at the end of June at his own request. He will focus on building his own public affairs and international business advisory practice, helping companies work with governmental and international partners.

Janne Harjunpää adds: “We are thankful for the important work Vasyl has done during a challenging time. His steady presence and deep local understanding were crucial in helping East Office implement its new Ukraine strategy after 2022. He played a key role in building and maintaining our trusted presence in Kyiv, and we wish him all the best going forward”.
