Expert Talk: DataDriven’s Defence Consultant on Building a Consulting Practice in Ukraine

Last week, our colleague Anton Tabur, Senior Consultant in Defence & Dual-Use Technologies at DataDriven, joined students at the Kyiv School of Economics to talk about the realities of building a consulting business in Ukraine.

Anton shared what it takes to work at the intersection of analytics, strategy, and impact — from navigating market uncertainty to helping clients turn insight into action. The conversation covered:

✔️Key challenges facing the Ukrainian consulting market;

✔️How companies navigate uncertainty and act with confidence;

✔️What young professionals need to succeed in this demanding but rewarding field.

The session, part of the KSE Corporate Club series, turned into a practical dialogue on careers, consulting mindsets, and the power of research in driving change.

At DataDriven, we believe that good consulting is not about having all the answers — it’s about asking the right questions, and building the capacity to solve them.
