JULIA SINCHUKOVSKA

Drawing on a degree in Economics and Politics from the University of Manchester, Julia gained a strong grounding in financial and economic analysis, and an appreciation for the competing interests that shape financial outcomes.

It is this experience that drew her to insolvency, and the complexity and variety that each matter brings. Having grown up in London with Ukrainian heritage and recently relocated to Sydney, Julia is fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, bringing a broad perspective to the team that proves particularly valuable when working with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds.
