About Dana Sydorenko
Hi! I’m Dana Sydorenko, co-founder of GameTree and former CEO of Nika-Text Plus, one of Ukraine’s leading military equipment suppliers. My passion is assembling dedicated teams to make the world a better place.
As GameTree’s CEO, I aim to transform the gaming landscape, fight loneliness, and unite global communities. Our goal is to help gamers connect, collaborate, and foster friendships.
My past experience as a paramedic in Ukraine’s army (2014-2015) and running a successful company in a high-pressure environment has honed my strategic and analytical skills. I thrive on diving deep into data, making complex concepts simple, and thinking from first principles.
When I’m not working on GameTree, I’m an avid gamer myself, always eager to explore new worlds and hone my skills.
