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

Michał has shown himself to be a very effective, insightful, and uncompromising auditor - both for portfolio companies and for a hard look at investment chances, regardless of industry. His support on the design side is also invaluable, and it is rare to find someone who joins all these competences without dropping quality. Over the last few

Michał has a sharp sense of product, but what sets him apart is how he treats people. He builds a safe, supporting atmosphere and actually listens to the team. He organizes work well, keeps communication clear, and can set direction. He is

rather than assumptions. Priorities and constraints were clear, and he kept the long-term consequences in view instead of optimizing the week. As a manager, he gave real autonomy without disengaging. He did not micromanage. He was there for alignment and for the hard decisions. He can connect business, technical, and product perspectives into a coherent

and creates an environment where collaboration naturally leads to inspiration and meaningful outcomes. Michał works closely with people and consistently focuses on purpose and impact rather than doing work for the sake of it.

Michał combines sharp insight with patience and calm. He can sit with a difficult topic without rushing it into a slogan, and he does not need volume to hold a room. His thinking is logical and strategic. He goes after the root of a problem instead of treating the symptom that happens to be loud that week. He builds trust.

I collaborated with Michał Kosecki on UX and e-commerce projects, where he defined ambitious quality goals and precise business requirements. His relentless pursuit of excellence was evident in how he reviewed our deliverables as a client: he approved only those variants that A/B analyses proved genuinely moved the needle on key KPIs.

to a standard line-management script. He thinks in systems, and he is willing to take the unconventional path when the conventional one is only comforting. He sees potential in people and then actually grows it. That is not a slogan in a review cycle. It shows up as time, as a career path that is specific, and as trust that you can feel in the room.

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.

I promise that after a first stretch of watching each other you can expect only empathy, honesty, patience, support, intellectual stimulation, and a brilliant sense of humour.

When a problem appears he does not serve the solution on a plate - he steers and encourages you to unravel it yourself. That approach, built on belief and trust, gives a sense of agency, more confidence, and more decisiveness, which leads to faster growth. Besides that Michał

I recommend him warmly.

I had the chance to work with Michał for many years and across different projects. One of the most inquisitive business analysts I know. Because he joins different skills, a wide subject-matter base, and analytical ability, he can design solutions that actually work for the business.

He was key in taking this bold decision and completely reshape the product successfully. Michał is also very talented in showcasing products and services. Going beyond UX/UI delivery, he is able to drive a vision and lead the team to make it

He is what some would call an executive factor of impossible results: he executes tasks and reaches goals that look out of reach.

he could diagnose the project environment. His ability to look both wider and deeper turns into using the right means and methods at the right time - I can say plainly that Michał is always two steps ahead when he analyses a situation.
