About
A journey defined by curiosity, innovationd, and fun.
I bring a strong technical background and tech-savviness, paired with a deep understanding of digital transformation and business development. These skills empower me to deliver outstanding business projects for clients, partners, and stakeholders.
I’ve contributed to numerous projects across industries such as banking, fintech, telecoms, media, insurance, energy, e-commerce, and the public sector. Success in these initiatives has been rooted in a comprehensive understanding of digital transformation. Many of these projects not only met clients’ business goals but also earned multiple international awards and were inevitably emulated by competitors.
I work on deal origination and project execution across Poland, Europe, and the Middle East, drawing energy and inspiration from diverse cultures and perspectives.
I bring extensive experience as a company founder, entrepreneur, and senior executive. I work as a consultant and board advisor, supporting leadership teams by sharing practical knowledge and hands-on experience.
I regularly publish in industry media on topics related to digital transformation, fintech, and management, and I enjoy sharing my insights through speeches, workshops, and my writing.
Beyond my professional work, I’m passionate about travel, aviation, and photography – interests that naturally complement each other. I run a travel blog, my photographs have been published in numerous magazines and books, and my films have been used by television broadcasters.
