Bio
Robin McIver
I hired Piotr as Head of Analytics at King’s College London and was his manager for just over a year. I was very impressed with Piotr’s technical abilities as well as leadership skills and managing style. He has an eye for detail, he’s passionate about planning, data, business intelligence and advanced analytics while being able to execute demanding projects. Piotr was great to work with because of his positive attitude and ability to stick tightly to deadlines. As a team member or a leader, Piotr earns my highest recommendation.
John Robinson
Piotr was a skilled, user-friendly and hard working member of the team. Easy to work with and producing good results. He readily provided simple but sufficient analyses (with comments and suggestions) as well as able to perform, understand and explain complex, inter-related analyses. Patient when I would return with further questions and supplementary analyses and a good sounding board for when we couldn't address the questions head on or when the answers didn't "fit" with prior years or other data sets.
