Without competition or promises: Olha Vahis heads "Motor Sich," while the former director becomes her advisor

The million-dollar competition never took place: Olha Vahis took over the leadership of «Motor Sich».

The promised open competition for a multi-million budget to select a new head of «Motor Sich» was never held. As a result, the company’s management effectively passed to a representative of the current management team — Olha Vahis was appointed as the interim acting general director.

The former general director, Oleksiy Nikiforov, remained with the company after his dismissal. The new head appointed him as her advisor.

Previously, Vahis managed the financial department of «Motor Sich». Before that, she worked at the metallurgical plant «Zaporizhstal» and in the bodies of the Zaporizhzhya City Council, where she held the position of advisor to the mayor.

In addition, Vahis and her former boss, now advisor, are considered close to Rostyslav Shurma and, according to available information, obtained positions at «Motor Sich» thanks to his support.
