Bio
Thomas Duggan
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Pawel. Pawel is one of those rare people who is always looking to help. Even if it means going out of his own way, he'll strive to solve your problem. Not only is his knowledge of all things tech and web vast but he also continuously looks to add to it by staying abreast of the latest updates. He is also a great team player and is never shy to speak up and share his opinion. I think that Pawel would be a definite asset to any organisation.

I had the pleasure of working with Pawel for many years in J2 Global. To this day i am still convinced he invented the internet & google given his expert knowledge of everything online. His knowledge was very extensive and impressive along with his work ethic and positive attitude. Pawel works fantastically across all levels (top, middle and frontline) and will always go the extra mile to get the job done and help where he can. As a side note, he is a professional in badminton, if he ever tells you he never played - do not be fooled :). Pawel is a true gent, he will roll up his sleeves to get any job done and do so with ease. @ Pawel - Thanks for all the hard work and efforts helping me and my team (and J2) over the years, much appreciated and wish you all the best for the future.
