Rafał Mikołajczyk (he, him)
I had a privilege and pleasure to cooperate with Olek in a number of joint projects in TVN WBD, where he proved to be a fantastic, dedicated team player, excellent organizer and a great colleague. His engagement, ideas and execution highly contributed to the successes of our joint initiatives. I’m certain that Olek is a great match with all the companies and undertakings, where the above-mentioned features are essential and bring (not only added) value. Best of luck, Olek, keep my fingers crossed for you, and thanks for everything 🙏
