About

As the Managing Director of CrossBorder24, I spearhead the dynamic expansion of e-commerce companies into attractive markets in Central and Eastern Europe, with particular emphasis on Hungary and Romania. I specialize in crafting global market penetration strategies, merging sectoral knowledge with local experience to ensure maximum reach and profitability for our clients.I bring more than 15 years of experience in the transport industry, during which I've had the opportunity to manage and implement global logistics projects. I specialize in optimizing and innovating logistics processes, tailoring them to the needs of leading entrepreneurs, retail chains, and global manufacturers. Throughout my career, I've crafted effective logistics management strategies, yielding significant benefits in operational efficiency and cost reduction.My robust academic foundations include a Master's degree in Supply Chain Management and Global Logistics from the prestigious University of Huddersfield in the UK. It was there that I acquired business competencies, having completed my studies in Business Management. In addition, I supplemented my education with an economic perspective, earning a Master's degree in Economics from the University of Rzeszów.Since 2009, I've been residing in Hungary, which has allowed me to understand the unique dynamics and opportunities of this region, as well as effectively introduce our clients there. My comprehension of e-commerce, both from a global and local perspective, enables me to fully leverage our clients' potential in these markets.By integrating experience, innovation, and global thinking, I assist e-commerce companies in reaching new horizons on the international business stage.
