About

As an HR Director with extensive experience in various industries, my personal mission is to drive company growth through people while supporting individual professional development. I specialize in creating and implementing HR policies that align with business goals, driving productivity and performance improvements, managing change and restructuring processes, and coaching and mentoring management talents. I am passionate about fostering a positive and productive work culture that enables both people and organizations to thrive in dynamic and competitive environments. My skills include leadership in executive teams, cultural change, HR strategy, and I am certified in several key areas, including Six Sigma Green Belt and PROSCI Change Management. Currently, I serve as the HR Director for Mowi Central Europe, where I oversee HR functions for 4000 employees across six countries. Since November 2019, I have increased productivity by 25%, reduced accidents to the lowest global level within Mowi, and launched several key initiatives, including a talent management program and Mowi Smart Pro. My previous roles include HR Director positions at Green Holding and McCormick & Company, where I led significant organizational changes and improvements in productivity and employee development. With a Master’s in Psychology and postgraduate studies in Human Resources Management, my background is further strengthened by numerous certifications and recognitions, including being honored for the best project in Poland and contributing to various publications on business coaching and the European social model.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
