Szymon Boniecki
Paulina has a strong partnership-building and community-building experience. She coordinated global programs with very demanding stakeholders (mentors, entrepreneurs, investors). Her Asian connections can be very valuable for CEE companies entering APAC markets and ecosystems (including investors).

I have very much enjoyed working with Paulina in her position at Expara the last couple of years. She is strongly motivated to build the startup ecosystem globally, and personally professional and dedicated. She is confident, easy to work with and has a clear understanding of the startup ecosystem in each of the regions in which Expara works. I recommend her strongly as a rising member of the global startup ecosystem.
