The joint-stock company "Ukrainian Defense Industry" has received a new chief executive. The supervisory board appointed Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk to this position following an open competition.
This was reported on the company’s page.
What is known about the new head?
The supervisory board made the decision regarding Ivan Yuriyovych Havryliuk after the competitive selection process and final interviews with candidates. The search and preliminary evaluation of applicants were conducted by the Ukrainian office of the international company Amrop Partnership.
The company noted that Havryliuk’s experience and his understanding of the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should contribute to the enterprise’s development, the expansion of production capabilities, and the strengthening of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex.
They also emphasized that the appointment of a new CEO is another stage in transforming "Ukroboronprom" into a modern, efficient, and competitive defense company.
Recall that in the summer the then-CEO of JSC "Ukrainian Defense Industry," Herman Smetanin, announced the end of his tenure. He thanked the president, the government, the military leadership, law enforcement, defense industry enterprises, and the company’s staff for their joint work. He also wished success to his successor.
His resignation came after statements by Volodymyr Zelenskyy about forthcoming personnel decisions at "Ukroboronprom." The president spoke about changes following a Russian strike on an ammunition depot at one of the group’s enterprises in Vyshneve in the Kyiv region.
At that time the head of state reported significant losses and casualties, and also said that a criminal case had been opened regarding the attack. At the same time, it was not officially stated that Smetanin’s dismissal was directly connected to this strike.
