What does real leadership look like when your team is working through blackouts, missile strikes, and the daily uncertainty of war?
In this powerful episode of The Leadership Enigma, host Adam Pacifico sits down with Maryna Pavliuk, General Manager of Glovo Ukraine a delivery platform that became critical infrastructure from the very first day of the Russian invasion in February 2022.
Maryna shares her extraordinary journey: from nearly turning down the GM role while eight months pregnant, to returning to Kyiv as one of the first wave of leaders to go back, to growing the business from 10% of pre-war levels to one of Glovo’s top 5 most profitable markets globally.
In this episode you’ll discover:
– How Glovo pivoted to deliver medicine, food and essentials to frontline cities from day one of the war
– Why Maryna chose to return to a war zone instead of relocating to Barcelona
– What “being the eye of the storm” really means as a leadership philosophy
– The concept of managerial courage and why it matters more in crisis than ever
– How Ukraine’s Economy is gaining a powerful new feminine face
– Why there is no playbook for leading through radical uncertainty and what to do instead
– Lessons being shared with UAE businesses now facing their own conflicts
This is not a conversation about leadership theory. This is human-centred leadership in its rawest, most courageous form.
