Gilles Mettetal is a well-known person in agribusiness, who has unique experience in agriculture and food, as well as extensive knowledge of specifics of agrarian sector in different regions of the world. He has 30 years of international experience in financing agriculture, agribusiness and real estate corporate sectors. Mr. Mettetal’s previous work experience also includes the Investment Centre of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), where he was in charge of the identification and preparation of projects to be financed by major international financial institutions, such as the World Bank or the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in Asia, Africa and South America.
Until June 2017, Mr. Mettetal was the Director of the Agribusiness and of the Property & Tourism Departments at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). His work has become an important impetus for the agribusiness development in Ukraine and strengthening of our country’s position in the global market. It was under his leadership that the agricultural sector became the second largest sector financed by the EBRD in Ukraine, and a long-term and reliable partnership between the EBRD and NIBULON was started. Specialists of NIBULON and the EBRD have been working together to ensure that investment projects are implemented as efficiently as possible and the allocated funds are used for the benefit of Ukraine’s economy.
As NIBULON’s General Director Oleksiy Vadaturskyy said, it was with the direct participation of Mr. Mettetal that a breakthrough in financing of the agricultural sector was made in Ukraine, 
“During the period of the agricultural sector formation and complicated economic situation after Ukraine became independent, it was extremely important that such well-known international financial institutions as the EBRD began to cooperate with Ukraine. The authority of Mr. Mettetal and the EBRD enabled us to change the image of Ukrainian agricultural sector. And today we realize that the agricultural sector of Ukraine would have been completely different without cooperation with the EBRD. And today it is a sufficiently developed environment, which is practically one of the few in the world to work effectively and without any subsidies and support from the state, and it is competitive in the global market. Therefore, experience of Mr. Mettetal, his culture and knowledge, high level of professionalism and authority in the world, psychological, moral and ethical qualities are of great importance to our company. This is a great help and invaluable contribution to the development of our company.
Gilles Mettetal is known as a person who has been engaged in agricultural sector of Ukraine and its position in the global agricultural sector, as well as in global financing of the Ukrainian agricultural sector on behalf of the EBRD for many years. On the initiative of Mr. Mettetal and under his leadership, a number of activities of great scientific and practical importance to the development of the economy of each country, in particular the Ukrainian agricultural sector, were organized and held at the highest level and with the participation of top officials of different countries; such activities were held in Ukraine as well”.
Today, the Supervisory Board of NIBULON consists of four members: Claudio Scarrozza (a chairman), Oleksiy Vadaturskyy, Philippe Ziegler, and Gilles Mettetal.
