Speaker
Natalie Jaresko
Natalie Jaresko has enjoyed a distinguished international career in public service and private industry. As Ukraine’s Finance Minister (2014-16) she served at a particularly critical moment when the post-revolutionary state was rocked by a deep recession and war on part of its territory. Her government’s success in restoring macroeconomic stability enabled the creation of a broad international financial coalition to support Ukraine’s transition. She spent two decades working as Horizon Capital co-founder and CEO and as Western NIS Enterprise Fund President and CEO. She began her career in public service in the United States, serving in the State Department, then as Economic Section Chief of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine from 1992-95. Currently, she serves as the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Aspen Institute Kyiv.
