wWhat would you describe as your most memorable achievement ?
My most memorable achievement was leading a largescale fibre connectivity project that spanned multiple continents . This initiative was not just a technical challenge but also a business one , as it required solving various cross-border obstacles , from regulatory compliance to logistical coordination . The customer , a major Japanese multinational , needed advanced networking solutions to unify their operations globally , demanding seamless connectivity across Asia , Europe and North America . What made this project particularly rewarding was the collaboration involved – RETN teams from different regions and specialisations came together to solve intricate issues , designing resilient , high-availability routes . Successfully delivering this project reaffirmed the importance of perseverance , innovation and teamwork . It was a testament to our ability and the transformative power of connectivity in enabling businesses to achieve global goals .
What first made you think of a career in technology ?
My interest in IT was originally due to my fascination with Japan . After obtaining a degree in Japanese , I began exploring career opportunities that combined my language skills with innovation which led me to
IT . At the time , a Japanese educational institution offering advanced IT courses in Poland caught my attention . The curriculum included an introduction to data centres , computer networks and system infrastructure which sparked my interest in the field .
