Magdalena is an outstanding project manager who combines skills in science,innovation, business and people management. She combines knowledge of how to manage innovation in developed as well as in emerging economies. She is an independent thinker with deep abilities to analyse complex problems and find creative solutions.

I have known Magdalena for over three years now having been introduced through our Warsaw office. When I first met Magda she was focused on setting the vision and direction of the Life Sciences and Biotech group at EIT+. It has been a pleasure to work with her and witness her strategic planning, decision making and people management skills. It is impressive for any leader to select and build a portfolio of 10 new start-ups scanning ideas across a nation in a span of 2 years with very limited control on the direction and scope of the early stage R&D. She is a visionary leader with a great ability to make global connections, learn rapidly, build a functional cohesive team and scale effectively. I have benefited immensely from what I have been able to learn from her in the areas of building trust, taking calculated risks and ensuring implementation. Perhaps our biggest joint success has been working on an important US-Poland collaboration between two research parks which is a great example for new transatlantic collaborations in Technology development and commercialization. I am confident that we will have many more success stories to tell in the future.
