What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth and innovation in international business.

I am a passionate and analytical leader with a strong background in international business development and strategic sourcing. With an MBA from the University of Economics in Cracow, I have successfully transformed mid-size companies into major global enterprises. My experience includes developing and managing sourcing relationships across North America and Europe, which has significantly contributed to business growth.

In my current role as a Business Development Manager at MOS Partners, I have led high-level negotiations that resulted in a reduction of operating costs by $500k annually. I have also established and implemented processes that have improved efficiency, reducing end time by over 20%. My expertise in corporate finance and controlling, combined with my ability to navigate international regulations, has been instrumental in driving successful business strategies.
