My guest today is a Ukrainian game developer, entrepreneur, and one of the most respected community-builders in the video games industry. After graduating from East Ukrainian Volodymyr Dahl National University with a Master's in Computer Science she began her career in mobile game development. She founded initiatives such as Achievers Hub and Global Games Pitch, platforms that connect indie developers with publishers, investors, and collaborators around the world.
Since then, she’s become a tireless advocate for emerging studios, a sought-after speaker at international conferences, and a passionate voice for the Ukrainian game dev scene—especially in the face of extraordinary geopolitical challenges. Whether mentoring new talent or championing indie creators on the global stage, she’s played a vital role in shaping a more connected, inclusive industry.
