Valeria Gontareva became the first woman to lead the Ukraine’s central bank two years ago, after more than 20 years in the country’s financial sector.

Some in the Ukrainian media have dubbed her the “iron lady” for her radical cleanup of the banking system – 77 of 180 banks have been declared insolvent or under temporary administration since her appointment in 2014.
