Past Experience

Snowflake

I served as the Director of Engineering and Site Lead for Snowflake's Warsaw office. My journey with Snowflake began in February 2021 when the company acquired Polidea, where I was CEO. This acquisition laid the foundation for Snowflake's presence in Poland. In my role, I was responsible for establishing and expanding Snowflake's R&D hub in Warsaw . I led the integration of talented teams from the acquisitions of Pragmatists and TouK into Snowflake. This experience of growing a small team into a large engineering organization taught me a lot about scaling effectively while maintaining a strong culture. Under my leadership, the Warsaw site became a vital part of Snowflake's global engineering organization, contributing to the development of innovative data solutions. I oversaw teams specializing in Data Engineering, Developer Platform, and Developer Productivity.

Polidea

Prior to joining Snowflake, I was the CEO of Polidea, a software development company specializing in mobile and web applications, and cloud solutions. During my tenure, I focused on scaling the organization and expanding our services offering. I led the company through a period of growth, establishing Polidea as a reputable provider of high-quality software solutions. My leadership emphasized innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, which resulted in successful collaborations with clients across various industries.
