With over two decades in executive search, and as a member of Spencer Stuart’s Industrial Practice, Michał Lewiński specializes in board-level C-suite and other key leadership hires, including crucial placements for industrial companies in the CEE region. He also has expertise in recruiting best-in-class sales, marketing and customer success professionals for high-growth venture capital and private equity-backed technology businesses, often helping VC funds find the right leaders for their portfolio companies.
With a mindset firmly rooted in organizational design, Michał believes that people are at the core of his work — clients, candidates, colleagues and even competitors — and that relationship-building is a recruiting constant in an ever-changing environment that makes hiring challenging even as it holds enormous potential for organizational and individual improvement.
