Martin Mycielski

Fractional Communications and Public Affairs Leader for Europe and Ukraine

About Me

I help companies and mission-led organisations navigate reputation, policy and market-entry challenges across Europe and Ukraine. I founded Mitchell Strategic Solutions Group, a senior advisory firm working across strategic communications, EU public affairs, defence and dual-use technology, and Ukraine operations. My work combines board-level counsel with hands-on delivery in crisis and reputation management, executive positioning, media relations, stakeholder engagement, market validation, commercial due diligence and business development. I also serve as Vice President and Executive Director of the Open Dialogue Foundation. In Ukraine, I have coordinated more than EUR 10 million in humanitarian and defensive support and worked directly with frontline units, public authorities, manufacturers, investors and integration partners.
