Our Most Incredible Intelligent Community Story: the IT Mobilization of Kyiv

Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, ICF organized a panel to discuss leadership in times of great challenge and the role a city's IT department can play adapting to a conflict. A lead story in TIME Magazine by reporter Vera Bergengruen stunned us with frontline reporting about how the local government in Kyiv had mobilized and innovated to protect, inform and defend its citizens. It is an Intelligent Community story and amazingly brave journalism in unusual circumstances. The discussion became the most viewed in our series, The INTELLIGENT Community: Soul of the City.

We reached out to Ms Bergengruen and she joined this panel. Vera is today a national security reporter at The Wall Street Journal. During the time of this podcast she was with Time magazine, where she covered the intersection of national security, tech and politics and reported cover stories from Ukraine, Argentina and El Salvador. She worked as a national security and investigative reporter for BuzzFeed News and her work has won the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi and Dateline Awards and a New York Press Club Award. She was part of the team that worked on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Panama Papers investigation in 2017. Vera is originally from Uruguay and grew up in Chile, Germany, Mexico and Miami.
