Paul M. Grod

Paul M. Grod, a prominent Ukrainian Canadian businessman and lawyer, has made significant contributions to the Ukrainian community and beyond. Elected as the president of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) in two thousand eighteen, Grod has been a pivotal figure in advocating for Ukrainian interests on the global stage.

Before ascending to the presidency, Grod served as the UWC's Vice President for a decade, where he honed his leadership skills and deepened his commitment to social activism. His dedication to the cause has not gone unnoticed, as he has become a respected voice within the Ukrainian diaspora.

In addition to his role at the UWC, Grod is the president and CEO of Rodan Energy Solutions, a company that reflects his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to sustainable energy solutions. His influence extends beyond business, as he has been sanctioned by Vladimir Putin, making him one of the few Canadians, alongside twelve others, who are not government officials to face such restrictions.
