Management has been Igor Gielniak’s passion for over 40 years. Thanks to his English, German, Spanish and Russian, he has helped many international companies improve the profitability of their Polish branches and production plants.

Together with specialists in strategy building, risk management, business continuity and business process optimisation, we are ready to work in these languages.

Recommendations

What people say about Igor

I recommend Igor as the “Chief Turnaround Executive” for any type of situation requiring thorough analytical skills, broad business judgement and decisive execution of detailed action plan. Igor will take full responsibility for his work and will concentrate on final goal achievement.

Wojciech Tomikowski Co-founder, Orphinic Scientific

Igor is a detail-oriented manager who watches the balance sheet like a hawk without ever losing sight of the strategic objective.

Roman Zleśny Vice President, Controlling Analyst

Igor not only has a great business sense, but also the vision to make changes that may not yet appear on the radar of others. When I worked for him at Everest, he made major changes in the operations of a company that he and his partner started from scratch. To me that’s a true innovator, one that’s able to step back, take a critical look at one’s own work, and make necessary changes.

David Asher Government Relations Specialist, USPS OIG

Igor Gielniak is very experienced manager. He combines hard analytical skills with soft competences such as communicative abilities and real leadership. He is very constructive and object-oriented, honest and trustworthy. He has significant experience in business strategy and new project implementation. I would strongly recommend cooperation with Igor Gielniak without any doubt.

Slawomir Sliwicki Development manager

Igor is the most reliable, most entrepreneurial and most versatile person I have ever encountered. Ask him to deliver a lecture on Egyptian Pyramids in Swahili – he will be ready in 20 minutes. And he will come with his own equipment, including a desk, a chair and a candy for each listener.

Witold Falkowski Head of Operations Nigeria, LEKAM

Igor has a relentless desire to go forward, to push his business to the new levels and to develop his people and organization. He is a very strong strategic thinker and he follows through to accomplish what he planned. A great guy to work with or for – smart, hard-working, honest and very successful.
