Marek Tomalak

It is my pleasure to write this brief recommendation for Marek . I saw him growing very fast from a Junior to a Brand Manager level. To describe his performance, I can use two words - strong marketer - with great passion for deep consumer and market understanding and good feel for what excellent advertising is. Besides these marketing skills, he's also proven great team collaboration and leadership skills in the assignments he has had. He was always a catalyst for a great team work environment - Marek always paid good care at identifying the passions of each team member and tried to push them to be their best.
