How do you navigate stormy waters as a manager of a company with a turnover of UAH 15+ billion?

It is quite a daunting task to scale a business in Ukraine to the level of one of the largest exporters of sunflower oil. But it takes a true maestro to build a sustainable financial model that works seamlessly in 39 countries around the world in conditions of severe turbulence.
