The Impact of the War in Ukraine on Data Teams

Secrets of Data Analytics Leaders

We in the West have watched Russia's invasion of Ukraine with disbelief and horror. How could this happen to a European country in the 21st century? Is there any justifiable rationale for the wanton destruction of people and property there? As we ponder these questions, our data colleagues in Ukraine have experienced the war firsthand. To help us get a handle on Ukraine's role in the data economy and how teams based there are coping with Russia's military onslaught, Wayne interviews two software executives today who share how the war has affected their companies and how they are adapting to the evolving situation. Dragos Georgescu is vice president and chief technology officer of DataClarity, an innovative data analytics vendor with a development shop in Lviv, Ukraine. Bogdan Steblyanko is CEO of CHI Software, a software development company based in Ukraine with more than 500 employees spread across four development centers, including hard-hit Kharkiv in the east, which is the company's headquarters.
