Ex-Ukrainian PM Yulia Svyrydenko to head KSE Business School
According to the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), Yulia Svyrydenko will focus on business education, taking on the role after a year as prime minister.
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko has been appointed president of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Business School, according to KSE President Tymofiy Mylovanov on September 10. Svyrydenko, who served as prime minister for a year before her unexpected dismissal in July, will focus on business education at the school.
KSE aims to prepare leaders who will drive technological advancements, build competitive companies, and assist Ukraine in transitioning from an innovation-generating country to one that exports knowledge, solutions, and management expertise. Svyrydenko, who joined Prime Minister Andriy Yermak's team as his deputy in 2020 and later became first deputy prime minister and economy minister, has also lectured at KSE while in office.
Her asset declaration reveals she earned Hr 3.24 million ($72,000) from KSE in 2025, significantly more than her Hr 1.37 million ($30,700) salary as prime minister. Mylovanov praised Ukraine's new business school, stating that it will lead to "wonderful, incredible things." Prior to her dismissal, Svyrydenko was reportedly considered for the role of Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S. and may also become CEO of the state-owned energy company Naftogaz, replacing Serhii Koretskyi.
When asked about potential new roles, Svyrydenko stated in August that she was currently taking a break but did not confirm if she would accept any position.
