Oleh Uruskyi once again assumed the position of Director of Progresstech Ukraine. He previously managed the company in April-July 2020, until he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine. At that time, the American businessman and scientist Anton Kulchitsky replaced Oleh Uruskyi as the head of Progresstech Ukraine.
More than three years later, in September 2023, Anton Kulchitsky became head of the Progresstechgroup holding, which unites a number of companies in North America and Europe, in particular Progresstech Ukraine and its founder PT-Americas (USA). The Board of Directors of the international holding reappointed Oleh Uruskyi to the vacant position of Director of Progresstech Ukraine.
Oleh Uruskyi was born in April 1963. He is a doctor of technical sciences, professor, author and co-author of more than 50 scientific works, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology (1996), and academician of the International Academy of Astronautics.
Oleh Uruskyi was repeatedly appointed to leadership positions in central executive bodies, defense industry enterprises and associations, the air transportation industry, and engineering.
In particular, in 2020-2021, he was Deputy Prime Minister – Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine and was a member of the National Security and Defense Council, headed by the President of Ukraine.
In 2015, Oleh Uruskyi headed the State Space Agency of Ukraine. In 2005-2006, he was the First Deputy Minister of Industrial Policy.
Progresstech Ukraine is the largest provider of intelligent services for the global aerospace market in Central and Eastern Europe.
Thanks to effective management, Progresstech Ukraine managed to strengthen its market position, despite the catastrophic challenges and existential threats that Ukraine faced in the last 4 years.
Thus, in 2020-2021, during the spread of COVID-19, the company protected personnel from the pandemic, applied new teamwork methods, and quickly adapted to market demand for modernizing the commercial aircraft fleet. As a result, during two years of COVID-19, Progresstech Ukraine increased the export of engineering and IT solutions for the aircraft construction and air transportation industry by almost one-third.
In 2022-2023, during Russia's full-scale invasion, Progresstech Ukraine retained a strong engineering team, radically reformed business processes, increased labor productivity, and strengthened its export potential. Already in the summer of 2023, demand for the company's services prompted it to launch new projects for the aviation industry and accelerate the recruitment of personnel.
