Expert, on-the-ground insights for you

Our editorial team combines deep knowledge of Poland’s economy, politics, and markets with a European perspective.

Grzegorz Nawacki

Editor-in-Chief
With two decades of shaping economic narratives and as the founder of XYZ, Grzegorz believes the truth is worth the effort.
 
His passion is the dynamic intersection of sports and business. Where competition, strategy, and human ambition collide.
 
When he’s not breaking down market trends or editorial strategies, you'll find him analyzing the business plays behind the game-winning moves.

Michał Szcześniewski

Head of Newsletter
International affairs are his beat, especially the CEE, Ukraine and Central Asia.

When he's not working, you'll find Michał deep in non-fiction, camera in hand capturing the world through a different lens, or down some fascinating rabbit hole expanding his understanding of how things actually work across borders.

After two decades in the trenches of translation, interpreting, and language training, he is now bringing linguistic precision and global perspective to the XYZ newsroom and Poland Unpacked.

Małgorzata Grzegorczyk

Deputy Editor-in-Chief
Twenty five years in journalism, and the thrill hasn’t faded.
 
At XYZ, Małgorzata chronicles the backbone of Polish economy—the manufacturing firms and service companies driving growth, the foreign investments reshaping our landscape, and the bold Polish ventures staking their claim abroad.
 
With every story she offers a window into how business transcends borders and transforms economies.

Marek Skawiński

Chief Economist
He decodes the numbers that drive nations. From macroeconomic shifts to sector-specific trends and public finance dynamics, he translates complex data into actionable insight.
 
And he knows what to look for and where. Before joining XYZ, Marek served as Director of the Macroeconomic Policy Department at the Ministry of Finance.
 
Away from spreadsheets and forecasts, you'll find him in the mountains, where perspectives shift.

Michał Kulbacki

Economist
Turning data into stories to remember. Michał specializes in macroeconomic and sector analysis. He will dig into the numbers to uncover the trends and forces shaping Polish economy.
 
Whether it's tracking market shifts or forecasting sector movements, Michał will compile accessible analyses that drive better decisions.
 
Off the clock, he’s into live music and seeking clarity that comes from a long run.

Cezary Szczepański

Head of Newsroom & Innovation
For over a decade, Cezary has been chronicling the pulse of innovation. He is your guide to what's happening in Poland and beyond: from groundbreaking tech to disruptive startups and the evolution of Business 4.0.
 
Because in a world moving this fast, you deserve journalism that keeps pace with entrepreneurs reshaping how we work, connect, and compete in the global marketplace.

Anna Bełcik

Tech & Startups Journalist
As a journalist specializing in innovation and technology, Anna has spent over a decade tracking the ecosystem that transforms breakthrough concepts into thriving businesses.
 
She writes about the money, but more importantly – about the vision. The entrepreneurs who bet everything on an idea. The investors who see potential in a pitch deck and a dream. The policies and programs that can make or break the next generation of innovators.
 
Anna’s stories are about turning "what if" into "what's next".

Rafał Mrowicki

Politics & Policy Journalist
Covering politics and social issues to give you clarity, not noise.
 
Rafał’s work digs into the stories that shape Polish narratives. He believes in the power of conversation—real dialogue that goes beyond headlines and soundbites.
 
When he’s not chasing stories or conducting interviews, you'll find him on the dojo mat training karate, pounding the pavement on a run, or lost in a good book.
 
Rafał will help you keep track of Polish politics and policy.

Krzysztof Figlarz

Politics & Policy Analyst
In a world drowning in spin, facts still matter.

At XYZ, Krzysztof’s commitment is straightforward: tell the story, back it with data, and let the story speak for itself. Also, the best stories come from hearing what people actually have to say, not what you assume they’ll tell you.
 
When he’s off deadline, you'll find Krzysztof on two wheels or on a run, ideally near water or mountains. Oh, and if Lech Poznań is playing, everything else can wait.

XYZ EDITORIAL TEAM

At XYZ, we don't work in silos – we work as one.
Great journalism isn’t a solo act. It’s built on the collective intelligence, diverse expertise, and relentless curiosity of our entire editorial team.
 
We believe the best insights emerge when minds challenge each other, not when they work in isolation. Because you deserve analysis that's been stress-tested, reporting that's been refined, and storytelling that's been crafted by people who push each other to be better every single day.

I’ve given several interviews to XYZ journalists - they ask sharp, well-aimed questions. They present important information and opinions in an engaging, thoughtful format. They know the news that people are seeking. To me, XYZ has consistently delivered excellence in reporting and analysis, with a clean, compelling layout and visuals that elevate the storytelling. It remains one of the most reliable sources of insight on Polish business, politics and the startup landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a trustworthy source on what’s happening in Polish business, the economy, politics and the startup ecosystem.
