About Tomasz

Thinking about expanding into new markets — especially in Europe? That moment brings excitement, but also questions: Who do we know there? What’s different? Can we trust what we see from afar?

I help startups and scaleups enter new regions with clarity and control. Acting as your boots on the ground, I connect you to local insights, talent and execution.

I'm a former founder and COO with 8+ years of hands-on experience. I’ve built companies from scratch, led teams, launched products and driven growth — now I do that for others.

My focus is on helping international teams launch and scale in Poland and CEE — though I also support clients with broader GTM strategy, team setup and growth delivery.
