I develop and manage teams, products and projects | TEDx Speaker/Organizer | Book author
Łódź, Poland
Actions
I’m an expert in project, product and IT team management, conference speaker, public speaking coach, children's book author and TEDx organiser.
I work in the financial sector, leading complex tech projects - including those related to digital identity. My role sits at the crossroads of IT, business and governance, where aligning perspectives is a daily challenge. In the past I’ve built DevOps team and entire competence area from scratch, always with a focus on communication, agility and a solid dose of common sense. I don’t believe in blindly following frameworks - I believe in people, collaboration and context-driven decisions.
I speak at conferences across Poland and Europe, running talks and workshops on leadership, agile, communication and teamwork. I also deliver my own trainings based on the LEGO® Serious Play® method. I’m preparing speakers for TEDxPabianice and co-organising TEDxUniversity of Lodz - events that gathers big audience and strong online engagement.
I hold degrees from the University of Łódź (International Relations and HR Management), MBA from Lodz University of Technology and Illinois State University, and a postgraduate diploma in IT Project Management. Outside of work, I’m a dad of two sons – which is great preparation for agile coaching. I write humorous, educational books for kids and collect the finest corporate memes life has to offer.
I love teaching, creating, connecting – and I always ask one question: “What if we did it differently?”
