knowledge in almost every field I got to work with him in - UX, IT, SaaS. In my whole career I have not met anyone who could forecast and plan like this. An unusual strategist: his data-backed predictions were right about 99% of the time. Gifted with real empathy. He treats each case individually and does not generalise. He looks for the problem and solves it in the most effective way. There is

year of working with Michał - a fruitful one, because our company has not had a leader this good in a long time. Above all he is the best speaker I have met, he thinks in an unconventional way, and he looks several years ahead. He sets the bar high, but he always has an idea for the problem in front of us. In short - a one-man orchestra.
