Meet Olena Onufriienko, HR Manager at GFE Solutions — the person who decides who belongs on the team, and then makes sure they actually want to stay.

Olena studied at the Kyiv Economic Institute of Management, but the more interesting part of her story is what she has built with it. HR in an engineering company is a specific challenge — you are not just filling positions, you are finding people who can operate in a technically demanding environment and hold themselves to a high standard. Getting that consistently right requires both good judgment and genuine curiosity about people, and Olena has developed both.

What sets her apart is a personal interest in medicine and human health — not as a profession, but as a subject she finds genuinely compelling. It quietly shapes the way she approaches her work: not just whether people are performing, but whether they are actually doing well and whether the environment around them makes sense.

Outside of work, she hikes and cycles — a good combination for someone who spends her days thinking about other people and knows when she needs to step away from it.
