PRESIDENT

Since transforming an exposition hall into a Ukrainian refugee center in early 2022, Krzysztof has become a global leader in modern humanitarian aid.

Formerly a restaurant entrepreneur and producer of high-profile events, Krzysztof transformed a Global Exposition center in Warsaw, Poland into one of the largest humanitarian aid centers in all of Europe. His coordination, fundraising, and problem-solving efforts have since helped over 65,000 Ukrainian refugees.

Together with American partners, Krzysztof cofounded the Humanitarian Innovation Group (formerly Americans for Ukraine) to raise support and awareness for the refugee crisis. Now, HIG is modernizing humanitarian aid through entrepreneurship and resettlement programs in Poland, education centers in Ukraine, and global relocation programs.
