Welcome, Andrii Konovalenko!

Aug 24, 2022  by Toktabek, Tim

We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our team, Andrii Konovalenko! Andrii is joining our Business Development team as a Director of Partnerships. Andrii is working from our Toronto office and has had very interesting experiences throughout his career – he will be helping Mercku develop partnerships with ISPs and distributors in the USA, manage pilot projects, and introduce new Smart Living products.

Andrii has just had his onboarding week, and I had a chance to chat with her to ask some questions:

Question 1: Why did you want to join Mercku?
Andrii: I have several reasons why I joined Mercku, but the most important for me was the team, their values ​​and their spirit. But at the same time, I see that they have a competitive and innovative product and strategy, and I believe in their bright future, where we can come together with our partners!

Question 2: What aspects of your new position are you excited about?
Andrii: I am very excited about Mercku’s WiSe technology and believe that with our solution, we can bring significant value to the Health Monitoring and Age Tech markets. Also, I’m excited to expand our network of ISPs and distributors in the US, as it’s a very competitive and challenging market!

Question 3: What are some of your hobbies?
Andrii: When I’m not immersed in work or learning, you can find me wake surfing, playing with dogs, cooking or travelling.

Question 4: What are some top innovations in the near future you are most excited about?
Andrii: I think that gene editing can change our future, but we don’t know if that’s a bad thing or a good thing 😉 Recently, scientists have developed a new CRISPR-Cas13 for controlled and reversible gene editing.

Question 5: Tell us 3 interesting things about yourself!

Andrii:

  1. I love to cook and experiment with ingredients and flavours. It’s also my usual way to relax 😉
  2. Mercku is the first team I joined at a late stage; before that, I was the founder/co-founder every time.
  3. Spent 2 weeks in quarantine in Asia and enjoyed this time 😉
