Jolanta Wiewióra
Managing director of HR and communications at Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego

Before she joined BGK as managing director of HR and communications, she had worked at Bank Zachodni WBK for the previous 10 years. First as HR business partner and then, as HR director, she co-created the human resources strategy and worked on its successful implementation. For the last two years of her work at BZ WBK she was responsible for the cultural transformation of the bank, and for the last year also for HR communication. Prior to that, she successfully implemented projects related to defining the roles of regional and branch directors. In her career, she has worked with both sales and support units. Throughout her years of work, she managed distributed teams: first HR managers and experts, then also communication specialists. She gained her first substantive and managerial experience in the international structures of The Coca-Cola Company.

She is a lawyer by profession. She is also a certified trainer and MBTI diagnostician – a complex research method defining personality profiles. Her greatest passion is working with people. For many years, she has been involved in voluntary projects – including several years as a member of the Board of the BZ WBK Bank Foundation. For almost 20 years, she has been socially active in the Association for Disabled People „Be with Us”, which deals with the integration of disabled children with healthy children. She is currently Chairwoman of the Board of the JK Steczkowski BGK Foundation, of which she was a member for several years.

She is convinced that the cultural transformation of companies based on values leads every team to success, provided that, in addition to developing a strategy for such a change, the transformation starts first and foremost with oneself.
