We give our condolences to his wife, son and his loved ones as we remember him, his speeches and words of advice he would give us and his many friends and colleagues.
Over the years we formed a close bond with Piotr and treated him as our mentor and master. His critical approach, intelligence and sense of humour often cast a new light on the many issues we discussed. We thank him for his speeches before the Inter Cars community, for his knowledge and experience he contributed to the development of our organisation, and for his invaluable help in developing the Inter Cars Foundation.
Piotr served on the Supervisory Board of Inter Cars SA since 2010, including many years as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. Since 2021, he was also involved in the establishment and operation of the Inter Cars Foundation, serving as the first Chairman of its Board and co-initiating the educational and scholarship program “Accelerator” addressed to the students of technical high schools.
He will be remembered by generations of students and managers as a mentor, a committed and enthusiastic lecturer and an excellent speaker.
