Hanken School of Economics

I graduated from the University of Łódź/Poland with a Master in marketing and management; I specialized in quality management. During my studies I spent one term at Jyväskylän Yliopisto/Finland within the framework of Socrates Erasmus exchange program. I gained practical experience working as a financial assistant for DFP and then a quality management specialist for ABB.

Currently, I am a full-time doctoral student at the Department of Management and Organization, Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki/Finland.

Starting from 1st July 2010 I have been employed as Ph.D. student for the The Finnish Graduate School of International Business (FIGSIB).

Additionally, since January 2011, I have been working as an Administrator of the Master's Degree Program in International Management and Strategy (MIMS).
