Creative, Crazy, Idea-Generating, Strategic, Data-Based – these words best describe Marcin Karkocha's style of working.

Marcin helps executives understand transformational challenges that face companies on different fronts, such as technology, organization and business. He evaluates the situation they are in and determines the options to move forward. He is keen to find solutions that can be implemented with a reasonable effort. He is eager to optimize performance in a measurable way, while using simple solutions. He is passionate to ensure that change brings a valuable outcome to the company.
