Bio
Anna Strzemińska
I have cooperated with Karol for quite a long time. If I were to describe him shortly I would use words: The true leader. At first I thought that the values and the virtues are a marketing product of really high quality, but they are not. The values, virtues, his deep insight, his management style is exactly WHO HE IS. He hasn't learned how to become a leader. He is a natural born. It is his way of thinking and feeling of what management is all about, ways of building a company, building a team, building something, that means. Means to him, to all employees and to everybody around. It is about trust and credibility. It is about empathy and emotional intelligence. It is about strategic thinking and priorities. This is the man you are willing to follow. This is the man you want to recommend. And this is the man who dares... Dares to be brave in who he is. Respect for that.

Karolowi i Bartkowi jako osobom zarządzającym Comperią udało się stworzyć prawdziwy zespół „dream team kadry managerskiej, który zawsze będę świetnie wspominał. Serdecznie dziękuję Karolowi za 4 wspólne lata w Comperia.pl S.A. ! Udało nam się zrobić kilka naprawdę dużych rzeczy. Karol jest prawdziwym liderem, który energetyzuje całą organizację swoim temperamentem, zapałem i pomysłowością. Mieliśmy okazje zmierzyć się z wieloma wyzwaniami, zarówno biznesowymi i managerskimi, a doświadczenie oraz wyczucie Karola było nieodzowną pomocą w każdej sytuacji. Głęboko wierzę że kolejne przedsięwzięcia biznesowe w których Karol będzie uczestniczył, będą rozwijały się na MAXA!
