The virtual USUBC Roundtable with Mr. Leon Skarshinski, the incoming Foreign Senior Commercial Officer (FSCO) at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, is organized in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce. The webinar will be held on Friday, August 15, at 1:00 PM Washington, D.C. time / 8:00 PM Kyiv time.
Mr. Skarshinski is succeeding outgoing FSCO Nathan Seifert, and will soon assume his post in Kyiv, following his current tenure as Commercial Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Mr. Skarshinski brings strong background in international trade policy and development, as well as over a decade of experience with the U.S. Department of Commerce, including previous postings in Peru and China, advocating for U.S. commercial interests, promoting U.S. industry and fostering business-to-business and business-to-government engagement.
This introductory roundtable will provide a valuable opportunity to welcome Mr. Skarshinski to the U.S.-Ukraine business community, share perspectives from our membership, and discuss priorities for strengthening U.S.-Ukraine commercial ties. USUBC continues the tradition of engaging with newly appointed FSCOs prior to their arrival in Ukraine — an important component of our ongoing public-private cooperation.

We kindly ask each member to designate one representative to be present on screen for the roundtable discussion and indicate this in the Questions & Comments section of the registration form.
