Head of Business Development |
| Transitioning into a BizDev role was the more biological and natural development for my career as once again identified by Testronic and myself as, for the past few years, I have been covering such duties anyway.
As Head of Business Development for Testronic I am responsible for the whole European market and am responsible for both managing currently existing accounts and finding new prospects to develop even further Testronic’s client portfolio. |

| 02 January 2013–Present | Client Relations Manager |
| Testronic, Warsaw (Poland) | |
| In 2013 I eventually moved into a more client management position with Sales responsibilities as well. Together with Testronic we have identified that the most natural development for myself would have been a more client-caring role as this is what I’ve done best in the past 5 years: starting, developing and bringing to a consolidated relationship any client whom I’ve worked with. Among my clients I can boast the most powerful game Publishers and Developers in the Games Industry (Rovio, Activision, Riot Games, Deepsilver, PKR…). With most of them I managed to develop the original mere business relationship into almost friendship. My daily duties did not change drastically in this new post, but I have moved away from Operations quite significantly which can be translated into a more global knowledge of the way Testing is carried on and an intensification of clients care. In other words I am more involved in all aspects involving client managing, from Finance to mutual visits, from Scheduling to Operations organisation. Duties:
