About me
Who
I am
I have been working in procurement for over 25 years. I started in financial analytics, bought IT for Bank Millennium, ran General Procurement at PKN Orlen, then built the SAP Ariba market in Poland and CEE. Today, as Associate Partner at apsolut Group (SAP Gold Partner, multiple-time SAP Ariba MEE Partner of the Year, part of All for One Group since March 2026), I lead the CEE practice: 20+ implementations across Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.
Total project value delivered: over EUR 500 million for 100+ organisations including KGHM, Żabka Polska, PLL LOT, Motor Oil Hellas and MOL. The most complex engagement was CONNECT for ORLEN Group: 15 entities, 4 countries and a 60-strong team. Earlier clients include PGE, PGNiG, Aeroflot, PKP PLK and PKP Intercity.
Between 2008 and 2012 I stepped away from the corporate world to build my own ventures: RMS sp. z o.o. (an EU-funded start-up under the POIG 8.1 programme), Przypominamy.com, and a dozen consulting projects. I know what it takes to build a product from scratch, sell it yourself, and report on an EU grant.
Outside work: I hold a helicopter pilot licence PPL(H) and an aeroplane licence PPL(A) with an aerobatics rating. Owner of WarsawFlightSafety, display pilot for the Diverse Extreme Team (2013). Press photographer with Forum Agency: air-to-air shoots, video and drone production for TVP and Greek island municipalities (Samos, Chios). Improv performer at Resort Komedii in Warsaw.
In tech since 1993: first website hosted on a VAX at UMCS Lublin, network administrator at SGH. Back then SUN, SGI Indigo, IBM AIX; today Cloudflare, React and personal web projects.
