      Together into the future

      Nicolai Kiskalt

      Nicolai Kiskalt is a partner and head of the Central and Eastern Europe Desk (CEE) at KPMG in Germany. He is also responsible for the Private Sector Practice of the KPMG Ukraine Gateway in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMA). 

      • Extensive experience in strategy and transformation consulting
      • Many years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the Ukrainian market
      • Coordination of investment projects and business initiatives with local partners
      I am convinced that Ukraine’s transformation will take place in three key areas: firstly, with regard to its aspiration to join the EU; secondly, with regard to reconstruction and development measures; and thirdly, with regard to society and the ecosystem. Each of these three changes is disruptive in its own right. The fact that all three are occurring simultaneously is unique. The pressure to change offers the opportunity to achieve technological leadership in certain areas and thus strengthen competitiveness.
