“We are thrilled to partner with Women on Boards Ukraine, a leading organisation in Ukraine committed to advancing women in leadership and reshaping corporate boardrooms.

Together, we will offer development and educational initiatives that empower women to build successful careers and champion inclusive leadership. We are eager to work together towards a more equitable future,” said Biljana Braithwaite, Chair of Women on Boards Adria.

Co-Founders and Co-Presidents of WOB Ukraine Nina Dombrowska, Tatiana Furtseva and Olena Malynska are proud that this partnership is established. “In today’s world, mutual support between countries is a crucial factor in overcoming shared challenges. Our alliance with Women on Boards Adria not only expands opportunities for members of both organizations but also facilitates the exchange of experience and knowledge between our regions. Together we can join efforts for the growth of women’s leadership, strengthening our organizations and the economies of both regions while fostering a more inclusive business environment.” said Nina Dombrowska who led the partnership discussions for WOB Ukraine.

“Both organisations strongly believe in equal opportunities for women in corporations as a cornerstone for a better economy and society. This cooperation will enable us to exchange knowledge and business experience across regions and different industries, share inspiring stories and common challenges of our members to further empower women in leadership roles” said Sanela Pasic, WOBA Ambassador and Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of UGB Eco Bank Ukraine.
