Marek Tomalak

“Marek is one of the best managers I have had the pleasure to work with. He is full of passion and energy to deliver the given projects, during which the whole team is able to feel the winning spirit. He is data data-based personality but at the same time able to “feel” the market and consumer needs. Marek is open to new ideas and bottom–up initiatives, as during our projects on Bonux. He is always ready for discussion and never leaves questions unanswered. I have always appreciated that Marek is able to give precious advice and honest feedback. As the future company owner, I would like to have Marek in my team.”

“Marek is a highly skilled professional. As a brand manager on the detergents portfolio, he showed numerous skills, such as the ability to perform extensive business analysis, strategic thinking and decisiveness, among the few to mention. Marek was showing a unique approach toward both business and team, organisation building. He is passionate, devoted, trustworthy and reliable, always focused on the desired goal and result. During the course of our collaboration, even if there were had different approaches, he was able to find the common ground of understanding and move forward. Marek has very high personal standards and complete integrity. He treats co-workers, employees and business partners, always with respect. He was able to manage the whole local multifunctional team and align direction, tools, budgets and support from the headquarters flawlessly and effectively.”

“I worked with Marek for over 1 year. He was my counterpart at the Headquarters, while I was managing the Tide laundry brand in the EE market. It was the time of transition, when HQ was taking over the Tide advertising campaign production from the local market. Marek stood out with 2 behaviours, which enabled a very productive and effective transition: 1) ABILITY TO LISTEN AND LEARN – the full library of knowledge tied to Tide’s doorstep challenge’ campaign creation and production was with the local organisation and me. Marek did not exercise the power of the new owner of the process; on the contrary, he was very patient to learn not to ‘drop the ball’ and ensure quality advertising continuity. 2) COURAGE TO DEFEND A POINT OF VIEW – since HQ took over the process, some higher managers were impatient to make decisions as per their perspective. However, they didn’t have any past experience with the campaign and complications linked to its creation and production. Marek was learning fast from us and defended our recommendations in front of the higher management. Marek was an excellent, wise partner in the transition. He ‘didn’t drop the ball’!”

“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.”
