We’re thrilled to welcome Iryna Volnytska, founder of SET University. Iryna is developing tech education in Ukraine through SET University, a non-profit institution established to educate tech leaders. She has 10+ years of experience in executive positions. Iryna is one of the few women leading cybersecurity transformation, and has co-founded two cybersecurity startups: SET Cyber Labs and IronCyber.

In the second Special ICE Edition, Iryna shares insights on her personal journey and the challenges that shaped her views on cyber and leadership, Ukraine’s resilient cyber talent and launching SET University during conflict, and how rapid reskilling enables women and career-changers to step into critical cyber security roles. She explores the overlooked skills the global market often misses, why cyber should be treated as innovation not just defence, and how crisis-driven experience and diverse teams create scalable global solutions. Iryna also shares actionable guidance for building resilient, inclusive cyber teams, and strategies for individuals pivoting into cyber security careers.

Whether you’re a cyber leader, diversity advocate, HR professional, or aspiring security professional, this episode delivers tangible strategies, real-world examples, and inspiration to strengthen security, foster inclusion, and lead with impact.
