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 🙏

I had the pleasure of working together with Aleksander on one of the transformation projects at TVN Discovery Poland. Mr. Aleksander has a very broad knowledge of project/program management and change management. Very soon after joining, he was able to lead discussions with key stakeholders. Always very engaged and looking for solutions that are flexible and adaptable to the requirements of both our stakeholders and internal teams.
