Yuriy brings unmatched strategic and operational insights, shaped by more than two decades at the intersection of investment banking, transformational energy reforms, public policy, and geopolitical analysis.

He is a reputable figure both in Ukraine and the EU with unrivaled leadership experience, who has navigated both liquid and illiquid capital markets at scale - not just making high-stakes decisions there, but actively reshaping the institutional terrain they rely on.

As CEO of Naftogaz (2021-2022), Ukraine’s largest company, and as the country's Acting Minister of Energy (2020-2021), senior executive of Naftogaz (2014-2020), Yuriy helped re-architect regulatory frameworks from the inside out in a politically volatile environment and managed capital-intensive operations under the war stress and severe information constraints.

Earlier, he spearheaded nation-scale natural gas market transformation, and successfully executed $100+ billion claim in international arbitration against Russia, orchestrating multi‑disciplinary teams that extracted high-stake decision‑grade evidence intelligence from patchy data pools.

Prior to his public-sector leadership, Yuriy raised and managed billions in debt, equity and structured deals during senior roles at Merrill Lynch, Amstar Europe and his own investment boutique built from scratch, AYA Capital, giving him first‑hand insight into what data and analysis institutional money actually needs before it moves.

He knows what real-world investors need - and is now building the tech to deliver it.

Yuriy holds an MBA from INSEAD (France/Singapore).

Oleksandr architects the design of the intelligence stack of our AI-powered solutions, with a rare combination of domain expertise in developing Ukrainian market and unique experience in processing sparse public data and non-public insights into decision-grade analytical products in environments where standard models fail.

With 20+ years of experience in financial and energy markets, he’s spent his career building economic models, interpreting chaotic signals, aggregating fragmented insights and generating decision-ready analysis where data are scarce, conflicting, or politically distorted.

At Naftogaz, the largest Ukrainian company, he led the Market Research Department (2016-2020) and played a pivotal expert role in multibillion-dollar arbitration cases against Gazprom and Russia - where the quality of economic reasoning built upon fragmented data directly influenced legal outcomes.

Prior to that, he advised Naftogaz on natural gas market reform transformational for Ukrainian economic landscape (2014-2016), and led analytical teams at investment company AYA Capital (2010-2014) and top Ukrainian banks (2007-2010).

This background makes him ideally placed to guide how AI is tuned, governed, and deployed in data-scarce politically-driven domains.

Since 2023, Oleksandr has focused on applying AI and building multi-agent systems to replicate and scale this kind of domain-rigorous reasoning - developing architecture, curated workflows, and QA loops that allow our models to think like seasoned analysts in illiquid markets, not just autocomplete text.

Oleksandr holds a Master’s in Banking, a degree in International Private Law, and is certified as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Energy Risk Professional (ERP).
