“Following the meeting, Pierre Heilbronn, General Inspector of Finance of the French Republic, was elected Chair of the Board of Directors, and Olena Kovalska, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, was elected Deputy Chair. Board members also approved the UCHF strategy for 2026–2027, its code of ethics, and other founding documents,” the statement said.
