Before his appointment to the government, he held leadership positions in the banking sector, led Petro-Consulting (now LLC European Lithium Ukraine), and in 2021-2025 years twice headed JSC United Mining and Chemical Company (OHGK) and brought it to the privatization stage. In April-2025 he was appointed deputy minister for environmental protection and natural resources, and after the reorganization and unification of the agencies he became the only one among deputies who moved to the position of deputy minister of economy, environment, and agriculture.
