For 18 years, I've been building digital products. I started in telecoms, moved through insurance, fintech, and e-commerce. I've worked with companies like Vodafone (Plus), Aviva, Visa, Veolia, Netia, and Envelo. For 5 years as CEO and Managing Director, I ran innovation agency Innovatika — helping the world's biggest companies build products and strategies their customers truly love.

Why Native Viral Loop

Over 18 years I've seen hundreds of products — in corporations, startups, and as a mentor. The best ones shared one trait: they grew organically because people naturally shared them with others. Not because anyone asked — but because the product demanded it.

I created Native Viral Loop because I wanted to turn this observation into concrete tools. A framework that lets founders and product managers stop relying on luck and start designing virality deliberately. Not as an afterthought at the end of a sprint — but as a filter every new feature passes through.

Journey

Telco
Career start in telecoms — Plus (Vodafone group), Netia. Building web services, SMS gateways, mobile portals. This is where I learned that a product lives or dies at the point of contact with the user.
Insur
Aviva — responsible for technology innovation and startup collaboration. Bridge between corporate and startup worlds. Running Design Thinking workshops, mentoring at Startup Weekend and HackJam.
Global
Insurtech Intelligence — original reports on insurance innovation sold globally: from Brazil through Canada and France to Indonesia. Writing about trends reshaping one of the world's oldest industries.
Agency
5 years as CEO and Managing Director of Innovatika — an innovation agency serving the biggest companies in finance, insurance, FMCG, and energy. Strategy, design, and technology under one roof.
Now
Proplo — a startup used by thousands of interior designers and tens of thousands of homeowners. Native Viral Loop — a framework born from passion for sharing knowledge, helping founders build better businesses. Warsaw, after a few years in Berlin.

NPS +100 — yeah, I didn't believe it either

My latest training Critical Thinking in the Digital World for senior bank management scored NPS +100. For context: NPS above 70 is considered world-class. +100 means literally every participant recommended the training. I had a hard time believing it myself — but it's the best possible validation that sharing knowledge matters.

Mentoring & community

On a personal note

I love everything Italian. I'm inspired by people like Levelsio — bootstrappers who build businesses without asking permission. A believer in minimalism and beautiful design. Lived in Berlin for a few years, now back in Warsaw.

Find me here

Full transparency: on personal accounts I'm more of a passive scroller than a social media ninja. But if you want to talk viral loops, products, or Italian food — hit me up.

The best products don't need ads. They need users who can't help but share them.
