Bio
Mateusz Gzyl
I highly recommend working with Ola, She is reliable, proactive, challenging and inspiring team member. Has all the technical skills of highly capable financial manager. Her insightfulness, drive to execute, open-mindedness and ability to challenge status quo builds her capacities in process improvement and change management. I admire Her legendary working ethics, ability to address prompt challenges and working under pressure. She is a person you can rely on, that can give you constructive feedback. Personally I would like to thank Ola for our long cooperation that helped me improve myself as a boss and her contribution to great performance of Our department and entire AmRest.

I had a pleasure and privilege to work with Aleksandra during my years as Brand President in AmRest. She was always known as very reliable, hard-working, strong with numbers, inquisitive and continuously learning to provide proper solutions. She was instrumental in identifying the opportunities for improvement in our business P&L and helped to close the gaps thru high quality benchmarking and constant monitoring of our financial results. Aleksandra is a great "people person" - she gets along very well with direct reports, peers and business partners - while always being demanding, honest and keeping the very high standards. I strongly recommend Aleksandra to anyone who needs a high quality senior analyst with a lot of business insights.
