During many years I had the chance to work together with Jolanta, looking for opportunities, building proposals and witnessing her taking leadership in challenging projects and situations. I always admired her enthusiasm, professionalism, dedication and smile!! Her problem-solving attitude and attention to others are among many others, great values and qualities of hers. Thanks again Jolanta !
