First will be needed to identify the key positions, set up an organizational structure of the UKRZ Holding and then hire appropriate managers.
Basic understanding is, that Holding would take care about overall leadership and management of UKRZ, represented by leaders of key business sections and of key staff divisions as finance/founding/investment, legal dept, sourcing/purchasing, controlling, ITmanagement, technical services, quality, HR, Environment, high-level sales and marketing, internal audit, safety dept., strategy & project office, quality dept., communication dept., etc. There will be needed to make an internal analysis before final organizational chart creation.
Regional centers would take care mainly about railway operation management itself, repairs and maintenance of the railway track and rolling stock, and about regional sales. Regional heads should be a part of Leadership team, which I am intended to set up as well.
By strong leadership structures and Governance model is going to be possible to take over a lead of UKRZ, surely, in close cooperation with Ministry of Infrastructure and Ukrainian Government. The Competition Proposal of CEO UZ

INTERNAL SOURCES
EXTERNAL SOURCES

Ministry of Infrastructure
Another internal source should appear after internal deep assets analyses of rolling stock and infrastructure, buildings and other assets. There should be also a space for free cash available. As per experience, by new governance model and sourcing structure, implementing new procurement system, we will manage to decrease costs of material and services and eliminate/decrease of leakages in the system
Very deep detailed planning of CAPEX and OPEX for all business sections will provide an assurance, that investments will be done in appropriate manner will be focused only for those areas, where are really needed.
Implementing by automated IT controlling system OPEX costs will decrease and Management structure will be able to control cash-flow in real time.

For the moment, I would not list strategic projects as they should resulted from internal evaluation by new UKRZ Holding management team and should be approved by Ministry of Infrastructure.
Before that, new organizational structure should be set up.
Each business section would bring their proposal for strategic projects
There will be a “Strategic projects dept.” under CEO in UKRZ Holding to evaluate and list proposals to UKRZ management evaluation.
After evaluation those project has to be discussed and approved by upper authorities, as Ministry of Infrastructure and/or Ukrainian Government.
