I had the pleasure of working with Yuriy for two years at Fujitsu, where he was responsable for the communications team of our services business, in Russia. As a team, we went through a global pandemic and the early stages of an ongoing war, both putting tremendous pressure on our people and business. Yuriy excelled on the communications front, ensuring a trusted bridge between central and local teams, and providing all necessary support and expertise to local colleagues and leaders. Yuriy is not only a communications expert but also a great individual with the right set of soft skills to make him a successful communications professional anywhere in the world.
