In this episode, we are thrilled to be chatting with Yarik Turianskyi.

Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, Yarik has a background in policy, communications and international relations and is what we call an ‘Arrow,’ someone who is originally from interstate or overseas and has moved to Adelaide, South Australia.

Yarik moved to Adelaide at the start of 2022 to take a Senior Policy Officer role at the Department for Energy and Mining before moving to the South Australian Business Chamber in a Senior Policy role and has not looked back. Currently working as the Corporate Communications & Government Relations Manager for Mitsubishi Motors Australia, Yarik brings his wealth of international experience with him to drive strategic engagement with key stakeholders, enhance Mitsubishi’s public relations efforts, and strengthen its relationships with government bodies in Australia.

We chat to Yarik about what brought him to Adelaide, his first impressions of the city, and what he enjoys most about living and working in South Australia.

This podcast was recorded on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people and we pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
