In the second stage, an expert jury and the portal’s editorial board selected the winners in specific categories based on criteria such as reputation, leadership, efficiency, innovation and risk management. The CFOs who received the highest scores from the expert jury were included in the list of the top thirty financial directors in Ukraine in 2025.

DANKOVA said: “For me and the entire Metinvest team, this recognition is a testament to the importance of our work in challenging times. Maintaining stable production is not just a business matter but also a contribution to Ukraine’s resilience. In wartime, every tonne of steel produced, every tax paid and every dollar of export revenue supports the economy, the army and our shared fight for freedom. This is a great responsibility, and we continue to work to strengthen the country and its competitiveness in the global market.”
