Testimonials

FEEDBACK FROM OUR CLIENTS (Linkedin recommendations)

Kasia supported us in transforming our solution delivery from a classical waterfall model towards an agile methodology between 2019 and 2020. I was impressed with her focus on value and her ability to connect to and interact with people on all levels from intern to senior leadership. She has always strived to fully understand before making any recommendations but at the same time always stood firm to her core principles. A specific asset also was her intercultural awareness and ability to work seemlessly in distributed and virtual teams.

I perceived Kasia as a very positive and inspired mind that has a lot of empathy. When interacting with her one also quickly realizes that she is an enterpreneurial and innovative spirit who is constantly challenging herself for new ideas.

Simon

Executive at Production Company

I am running Innovation IT department in a global pharmaceutical company. We are running several experiments every year with the goal of increasing productivity/generate cost savings for the company.

I reached to Kasia from K2 Digital Ventures to help us with commercialization of most promising projects. The biggest challenge is to turn successful experiment into a successful product and this is the area where Kasia’s expertise was irreplaceable.

Kasia helped us to prepare product pitch, business plan and detailed roadmap. She planned and conducted number of interviews with potential stakeholders. Her advices and recommendations were instrumental at this stage and helped us to create detailed business strategy within three months.

Needles to say the strategy worked and we have managed to introduce to the company a successful solution that only in 2017 generated over 1mln CHF of savings.

I fully recommend Kasia to work as a consultant for new enterprises, bringing solutions to the market and building long term strategy for innovative solutions. Personally I admire her creativity, thinking out of the box and extremely professional approach to given challenges.
