Why international teams book me

  • almost 20 years on stage – I have been hosting events since I was 17,
  • live radio and TV experience: almost 7 years at Polish public television TVP and, since June 2026, presenter of the news programme “Dziennik” on Newsmax Polska TV,
  • bilingual hosting in English and Polish: your foreign guests and your Polish team both feel at home,
  • clients include Intel, Lenovo, Mercedes-Benz, TotalEnergies, Škoda, Volvo, Lufthansa, x-kom, Tchibo and Pepco,
  • one contact for the whole programme: script, timing, speaker introductions, interviews, games and closing,
  • VAT invoice from a Polish business – easy for Polish and foreign companies alike.

What I host

Conferences and congresses, panel discussions and on-stage interviews, galas and award ceremonies, corporate events, kick-offs and brand activations and gaming and esports events. I also host store openings, trade fair stands, festivals and sports events.

English, Polish or bilingual

Many events in Poland have a mixed audience: a foreign management board, international partners and a Polish team. A bilingual host saves you an interpreter for the announcements and keeps the programme moving. Welcome words, speaker introductions and key information go in both languages; short transitions and jokes go in the language of the majority. Nobody feels left out and the agenda does not double in length.

I check the pronunciation of every name, titles and the order of official greetings before the event and send you the script for approval.

Based in Warsaw, working all over Poland

I am based in Warsaw and regularly host events in Kraków, Poznań, Katowice, Gdańsk, Wrocław and Łódź. Travel outside Warsaw is quoted separately. I also travel abroad.
