Roman Pushko

Co-founder and CEO of Rethink, a Ukrainian circular economy NGO, Roman is a leading voice on green and circular reconstruction. For him, S3 is about far more than technology: it's a chance for Ukraine to leapfrog towards better architecture, better urban design and a more inclusive construction culture, even in the middle of trauma. Roman holds his master's degree from Wageningen University and has complemented it with the circular cities program accomplishment at the University of Amsterdam. Since co-founding ReThink in 2017, he has been promoting the implementation of green innovations in Ukraine and trying to unleash the country's potential in ensuring a circular transition for the European continent. Currently, Roman unites colleagues, like-minded people, and various stakeholders around his vision of ecologically sustainable and aesthetically beautiful reconstruction of the Ukrainian urban environment and infrastructure. He loves cheesecakes, music, tennis, and beauty in everything. If you hear someone humming something in the office – it's him!
