Bio
Ulf Steffen
I have gotten to know Dariusz on a professional level and can confirm that his strain for success was remarkable. He continously took the extra steps to keep the succesful business in Poland running and not for a second neglecting the task of getting the US business on track again. It was an outstanding effort over months and different time zones to live up to his own expectations as well as the goal to turn the business in the US around. With dedicated passion & well-versed management decisions he was able to succeed but also set the right strategy for sustainable future success in a challenging environment. Personally I can also state that Dariusz is a highly appreciated person with whom one can have fruitful and enriching discussions not only on a professional level but also on a mutual level. I have always valued especially his thoughts about Sales Strategies, Coaching and sustainable Customer Development.

Sales and Marketing Expertise: Dariusz's experience in sales and marketing includes setting product and pricing strategies, negotiating contracts, and expanding sales channels. He has consistently grown revenue and market share, making him well-suited to develop and implement sales strategies for the company's products. Financial Acumen: Dariusz has demonstrated financial acumen by achieving positive EBIT, managing P&L, and implementing cost-effective strategies to improve profitability. His ability to consider financial aspects while driving sales growth is a valuable asset. It was a real pleasure working with him. Torsten Hehner

Dariusz is known to me as a very precise acting manager, contributing with good concepts to manage complex topics in business. He has done a great job during the merging process of Hoechst Marion Roussel and later the transfer to Aventis.
