Mikhail Bubnov, CEO of Schneider Electric in Ukraine, has joined the Board of Directors of the Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU).
“Thank you for your trust and the opportunity to join the CCIFU Board of Directors. The Chamber plays an important role in strengthening cooperation between French and Ukrainian businesses. I hope that its activities will continue to promote dialogue between business and the state and attract international partners to the reconstruction of Ukraine,” said Mikhail Bubnov.
Among the key areas of development of the Chamber that Mykhailo Bubnov plans to focus on are strengthening cooperation with government authorities and developing a systematic public dialogue, facilitating the attraction of international financing for Chamber members, and increasing the visibility of French businesses in Ukraine.
He plans to pay particular attention to strengthening the CCIFU’s sectoral committees, which bring together representatives from the energy, agricultural, IT, construction, and other sectors. According to Bubnov, these committees should become a platform for exchanging experience, preparing proposals for government authorities, and coordinating business initiatives within the framework of Ukraine’s recovery.
The Chamber’s priorities also include developing energy resilience and sustainability, promoting the reconstruction of critical infrastructure, supporting digital and technological innovation, and integrating Ukraine into the European economic and energy space.
“I am convinced that through joint efforts we will be able to contribute to a sustainable, modern, and energy-efficient future for Ukraine,” emphasized Mykhailo Bubnov.
Mykhailo Bubnov has headed Schneider Electric in Ukraine since 2016. Prior to that, he held management positions at Primetals Ukraine and Siemens Ukraine. He graduated from the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and holds an Executive MBA from Heriot Watt University Edinburgh Business School.
The Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU) brings together more than 200 companies representing French and Ukrainian businesses. Its mission is to promote bilateral cooperation, attract investment, restore the Ukrainian economy, and integrate Ukraine into the European market.
