Klaudia Shevelyuk, Senior Consultant

Before joining Ramboll Management Consulting, Klaudia Shevelyuk lived in Ukraine with her family. But the Russian invasion forced her and the family to move and start a new life in Sweden. 
 
As in Ukraine, her work focuses on sustainable business strategies and changes. A focus that has only been strengthened by the recent events. Klaudia is more eager than ever to create a sustainable future; for companies and - not least - for her two daughters and generations to come. 
 
In this article, you can learn more about Klaudia, who is one of the new members of our Recent Joiners Club.

What do you work with?

My primary focus is consulting in sustainability strategies and reporting. I also plan to bring projects and advise on resilience and recovery of destroyed cities and infrastructure in Ukraine caused by Russia’s invasion.
 
What made you want to join Ramboll Management Consulting?

In Ukraine, I founded a sustainability consultancy, Change Agency Responsible Future, and during the past 5 years I have realised that guiding clients through challenges and helping them identify opportunities for business development and growth is what I am most passionate about. Joining Ramboll Management Consulting to advise international clients in cross-border projects is both challenging and inspiring for me.

It is a big honour for me to join a company with a long-lasting history, impeccable reputation, and deep expertise both in engineering and construction, as well as in management and sustainability consultancy.

Ramboll was established in 1945, so already from the outset the company helped rebuild and form the modern society we know today, and I am sure that Ramboll’s valuable experience will contribute a lot to the new future of Europe and the recovery of Ukraine.

What is the most significant professional experience you have had so far?
 
Kyiv Environmental Strategy which I co-authored jointly with numerous experts.

Our client was the head of the Standing Committee of the Kyiv City Council on Ecological Policy. It was the first strategic document developed on principles from bottom up. It engaged various stakeholder groups, was registered as a public initiative, and in December 2021, just before the full-scale war broke out, the strategy has been supported by the majority of votes in the Kyiv City Council.

The document unlocked the potential for the Kyiv city to build and implement 4 circular strategies including water, energy and clean air, waste recycling, and biodiversity and green areas. It gave the city a chance to finally move away from the post-soviet heritage and create a new, modern and flourishing environment and infrastructure.

Right now, most of the critical infrastructure in many Ukrainian cities has been destroyed. However, after the war, everything should be rebuilt from scratch in the shortest possible time and being part of Ramboll, I know that our various kinds of expertises will be crucially needed.
