The epitome of Building a #BetterWorkingWorld. Congratulations to our colleague Natalie Jaresko for this prestigious award that recognizes her leadership and dedication to global causes, particularly her support for Ukraine's recovery.
One week ago, I had the opportunity to be in the Tatra Mountains with GLOBESEC discussing European competitiveness in the face of a fast-changing world. I was deeply honored to receive the GLOBSEC European Award, a recognition not just of my work but of the unyielding spirit of the Ukrainian people. As Ukraine's former Minister of Finance, I faced the immense challenge of restructuring our sovereign debt and navigating through a massive fiscal crisis amidst russia's initial illegal invasion and annexation of Donbas and Crimea. This award is a testament to Ukrainian collective resilience and the enduring bond between Ukraine and Europe. I believe in the power of each individual to make a difference, and I am proud to stand with those who strive for democracy, freedom, justice, security, prosperity, and sustainability. I dedicate this award to the indomitable spirit and strength of the Ukrainian people.
