Early life and education

Kalietnik was born on 10 December 1972 in Khmilnyk to forestry worker Mykola Kalietnik (b. 1943) and Russian literature teacher Halyna Loseva (b. 1947). The family moved to Kyiv, where Kalietnik herself graduated from high school No. 183 (1989) and joined the Komsomol.

Her father Mykola Kalietnik headed the department of the Ukrainian Ministry of Forestry in the 1990s. Years later, Oksana noted that she was proud of her father, "because he is just from the series of 'hardened communists,' in a good sense". Her father's brother and uncle, is a Ukrainian politician, people's deputy of several convocations G. N. Kaletnik, whose son, also a Ukrainian politician and people's deputy Igor Kaletnik, is her cousin.

Subsequently, speculation appeared in the media that her law degree was fake, but Kalietnik denied this.

Business career

As a student in 1991, Kalietnik began working as an advertising manager (headed the advertising department) at the phytodesign company "Roksolana" (a legal foreign trade association). She recalled: "I ended up in Roksolana by accident. Walking along Andriivskyi Descent, I saw a beautiful display case with flowers, looked around, liked it, went in and asked for the director. And then I told him that I can do this, this and this, and I want to work for them. He was taken aback by such insolence, but took the job. This was my first and last hired job. And we had to do a lot, even despite the position of manager: we packed the flowers ourselves, and collected the bouquets, and agreed on delivery."

From 1992 to 1995, Kalietnik was president and co-founder of the advertising agency "Dali" (investments in television and media projects), and from 1994 to 1995, she was general director and co-founder of the production studio "Master Video" that grew out of "Dali", which was engaged in the creation of television programs for the TV channel Inter. At the same time, she invested in the Pyramid advertising agency and its team of Borys Lozhkin (Telenedelya project, all-Ukrainian weekly magazine). From 1995 to 1996, she worked at the law firm Alkom Kyiv in which she co-founded. From 1996 to 2003, she was vice president of the BM Group construction corporation, which belonged to her ex-husband, entrepreneur Dmytro Elmanov. At the same time, from 1999 to 2003, she headed the representative office of the Danish investment holding Dannmar Scandinavia Aps in Ukraine. In 2003, she became the founder and until 2010 the general director of the group of companies "FIM Consulting" (“Finance, Investments, Management Consulting”), which worked in the market of residential, commercial and industrial real estate, as well as the restaurant business, among its assets there were more than a dozen commercial and residential real estate located in Kyiv Oblast. Over time, FIM became the management company Dannmar Scandinavia Aps, implementing a broad investment program in Ukraine, Kalietnik was its certified specialist (2006-2009). Now she is the owner of FimGroup, which is engaged in trade, transportation, real estate and restaurant activities.
