My post CV: Who I am - in 180 characters:

Gaygysyz is a media developer, focusing on emerging democracies. He co-founded Kyiv Independent and Dron media. Currently Managing Partner at Jnomics Media. 

This is my core message about media viability:

Media viability is crucial because it ensures the sustainability and integrity of media organizations, which play a fundamental role in informing the public, fostering democratic participation, and holding power to account. Without viable media, societies risk losing access to reliable information, diverse perspectives, and critical watchdog functions essential for a functioning democracy. 

I want to contribute strengthening media viability by...

...fostering sustainable business models, promoting editorial independence, and enhancing audience engagement through innovative strategies and partnerships.

...the transformative power of media to inform, inspire, and drive positive change in society.

Other things you should know about me, my expertise and experience:

I launched my media career in Ukraine amid a challenging landscape. Dominated by oligarch-controlled conglomerates, and facing significant Russian influence, the market demanded innovation and resilience. Despite the fierce competition, I spearheaded innovative game-changing media ventures while learning from setbacks. Now as a consultant, I draw upon this rich experience to help other independent media.
