About Tomasz

Experienced interim executive in operations and manufacturing.
I help industrial and automotive companies navigate disruption,
uncertainty, and large-scale transformations and come out stronger.
With 20+ years of leadership in plant management, I specialize in:
• Greenfield launches
• Production transfers
• Turnarounds
• Restructuring & post-M&A integration
My focus: execution under pressure stabilizing operations, restoring
control, and creating long-term value through operational excellence.

Key results:
- 4 greenfield plants launched
- 2 plant closure & relocation programs
- 2 post-acquisition integrations
- Site performance transformations in productivity, flow, and
profitability

Whether I’m leading a crisis recovery, stabilizing a struggling
operation, or building from scratch, I bring clarity, structure, and decisive execution.

I work with manufacturers, investors, and private equity as an interim plant manager, COO, or operational advisor especially when failure is not an option.
