Having now over 14 years of experience in steel market analyses and price reporting, joined SteelOrbis in 2019 to head and manage the market intelligence department. Currently overlooking the price developments in the steel sectors of Turkey, MENA region, Europe and partly the CIS. The markets of flats, longs, steel slab and billet are among the current key responsibilities. I have a bachelor’s degree from Ukraine’s Dnipro National University, a master’s degree in the international trade and finance.
