Iryna Zhukova, Human Resources Manager
Iryna joined a company with a strong background and knowledge from her previous senior HR roles at Amazon, Bee Clean Building Maintenance and PepsiCo in Europe. Having a strong background in working with large multinational organizations, Iryna has a passion for working with family-owned enterprises with strong employee-focused cultures. Away from work, Iryna loves reading. She has been reading since she was three years old and can read an average-sized book in less than a day due to her fast-reading abilities. She also enjoys photography, particularly capturing natural attractions. The background photos on her laptop are all her own work.
