ABOUT ME

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts…

Jackson Brown

Businessman, business coach, practitioner. All of these words describe my career path very accurately.

I was only a 13 years old kid when I was sitting in front of the computer for long hours and devoting myself to programming which was my biggest passion at that time. I had no idea that my hobby would bring profits and become a serious business. At high school individualised studies in the computer science allowed me to develop my interests in programming. As a first year student I was a computer programmer for portal Onet.pl. One year later I started working for advertising agency S4 and designing software for such brands as Philips, Geant and Dunlop.

After graduation  from Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty of Tadeusz Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology (with a degree in Information and Communication Technologies), I began working for the British company Skyscanner. I was responsible for creating interactive flight routes map. Scyscanner.net is currently the most popular European flight search engine.

Although I had a stable job with good money, I decided to set up my own businnes. This is how Interactive Agency Zubi came into being. Years of work experience in this field allowed me to manage the realisation of more than 100 IT projects and to work with both Polish and foreign enterprises, including such brands as Kazar, Inglot, Mercedes Benz, Skanska, Wiśniowski or Eurocash.

On the 22nd of September 2013 we were awarded brown medal of the Polish Success Academy. Those medals are for Polish best entrepreneurs, enterprises and products. Our agency was honoured for its financial results, market position and reputation.

Market competition is really high and being the market leader demands constant work. This is why I was regularly taking part in trainings and lectures on personal and business development. Now I occupy myself with business consulting on business restructuring, designing business processes, introducing new products and companies into the market, and with trainings in marketing, direct sales and online sales. 

I utilized my experience and knowledge i.a. to build and train together with FM WORLD a consumer – sales team. My team has currently over 15000 business partners and in the last 3 years generated 5 mln EUR in sales.

Sport has been always an important part of my life and one of my biggest passions. I used to do karate, athletics, play handball and  do boxing when I was a university student. Now I discovered my biggest love – triathlon. In 2016 I finished Ironman 226 km race in Nice and 1/2 of distance during Ironman in Gdynia.

I am a tech geek and a triathlete. My love for new technologies and sports led to the creation of the I’M INSPIRATION app. That’s why I moved to Estonia – a country that is a paradise for innovators and tech startups and at the same time provides fantastic conditions for swimming, cycling and running. Together with my team we run an international project to improve lives of millions of people, to make them healthier and happier.

My sports goal for 2022 is to compete in IRONMAN Talin.

OFFER

IT consulting

Do you have an idea for Internet business but you don’t have any experience in IT?Maybe you need to implement new IT solutions in your company and you search for a specialist who would represent you during meetings with the contractors and would choose the most optimal solutions and partners? It’s very difficult to negotiate when you have no experience in IT industry, you don’t know the prices and what is worth to pay for. I was personally winning contracts worth more than 200 000 zlotys and I know how to negotiate and secure your businesses when it comes to law. If you have me in your team, you will not overpay or choose a low-cost company which will not be able to realise your project.

Solutions for business

Realising projects for my clients, I was taking part in formation and development of their companies. My key to canvassing clients was the fact that I wasn’t only making a standard pricing but I also was trying to feel as the owners and to advice them as it was my own business. This non-standard approach gave me 90% of efficiency in canvassing clients who were sending to us their letters of inquiry. I shared my knowledge and experience with contrahents who were my former clients. With many of them I still have very friendly relations and I help them with running their businesses. If you need to make modifications in your company to make it more profitable and to increase efficiency of your workers, contact me and after some months you will notice an upswing in financial statement of your company.

MY CLIENTS

In the last 8 years I realised and implemented projects for many companies. Some of my clients include:

SPORT

When I was a school and university student, sport was my passion and my way to relieve stress and to build self-confidence. Unfortunately, I received a serious shoulder injury during preparations to Thai boxing competitions. It was also the time of dynamic development of my professional career so I change my boxing gloves into keyboard and mouse. My physical activity was lower and lower with every year in business until the moment when I found a movie about Ironman races and started to feel a deep desire to take part in the 226 km race and to join the awesome group of Ironmen.

After 8 years of break from a sport and then after 15 months of preparation I achieved my goal.
