I, Mariia Bishko, hold a complete higher legal education. In 2014, I graduated from Ivan Franko National 
University of Lviv with a degree in Law, having obtained a Master’s degree qualification. I am fluent in 
Ukrainian and have a B2 level of proficiency in English. In 2019, I obtained a Certificate of the Right to Practice 
Law, issued by the Kyiv City Qualification and Disciplinary Bar Commission. 
I began my professional career in December 2014 at the Lviv Commercial Court of Appeal, where I worked as 
a court hearing secretary and subsequently as a judge’s assistant. During this period, I gained practical 
experience in court administration, preparation of procedural documents, analysis of legal positions, and 
organization of judicial proceedings. 
In December 2018, I joined the Western Commercial Court of Appeal, where I held the position of an 
employee of the Human Resources Department. Within the scope of my official duties, I ensured human 
resources support for the institution’s activities, organization of records management, and internal 
administrative processes. 
Since October 2019, I have been working at PJSC Ukrhydroenergo, where I have consistently held senior 
managerial positions in the areas of legal support, property relations management, and implementation of 
investment projects. I began my employment as Head of the Property Relations and Corporate Rights 
Department and was later appointed Deputy Director of the Legal Support and Property Relations 
Department. From September 2021 to February 2025, I headed the Department for Implementation of 
Innovative Projects. Since February 2025, I have been holding the position of Deputy Chief Executive Officer 
for Investment Activities and International Fundraising. 
Within my professional activity, I specialize in attracting financing from international financial institutions, 
coordinating investment programs, and developing international partnerships. I have been directly involved 
in the preparation and implementation of strategically important projects in the hydropower sector aimed 
at restoration, modernization, and enhancement of the reliability of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure facilities. 
With my participation, significant volumes of international financing have been mobilized, including funds 
from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank, the 
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, as well as governmental donor programs. 
My functional responsibilities include organizing negotiation processes with international financial 
organizations, investors, donors, and public authorities; concluding international agreements and overseeing 
their implementation; managing the full life cycle of investment projects—from strategic planning to 
commissioning of facilities; coordinating procurement procedures in accordance with international 
standards; ensuring the preparation of technical and project documentation; and monitoring budgets, 
schedules, and key performance indicators. 
I place particular emphasis on risk management, analytical support of investment programs, and preparation 
of reports for public authorities, international financial institutions, and internal corporate structures. I 
ensure effective cooperation with contractors, consultants, equipment manufacturers, and other 
stakeholders involved in project implementation. I manage the activities of specialized structural units aimed 
at increasing the efficiency of management processes and introducing modern approaches to the 
implementation of infrastructure projects. 
I possess substantial managerial and practical experience in the field of international financing, 
implementation of infrastructure and energy projects, legal support of investment activities, and strategic 
development of enterprises. In my professional activity, I adhere to the principles of responsibility, 
transparency, systematic approach, and result orientation, focusing on strengthening international 
cooperation, developing investment potential, and enhancing Ukraine’s energy resilience.
