Financier, Master of Finance from Kyiv National Economic University, CFA charterholder, President of CFA Society Ukraine. Managed assets at Dragon Asset Management; in 2015–16 — advisor to the Minister of Infrastructure on transparency and open data; 2018–2023 — head of SE "Prozorro.Sales" (transparent auctions of state property). Since 2023 — deputy, from 2024 — first deputy minister of economy; participant in negotiations on the Ukraine Facility (€50 billion) and with the USA. On 17.07.2025, he headed the merged Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture (Svyrydenko government) — a "triple" ministry, unofficially called the "Ministry of Resources."

Forests and "Forests of Ukraine"

His agency is the management body of the State Forest Agency and SE "Forests of Ukraine"; this period coincided with the suspension of the head of the State Forest Agency Smal (01.07.2026) and high-profile disputes around the sector and logging.

Reputation and proceedings

He belongs to the reformist, pro-European wing of the government. In the case of the "Mindich tapes" (corruption in Energoatom) he stated that investigation suspects blocked the reform of the supervisory board — thus positioning himself against the scheme.
