Magnusson has announced that Agnieszka Pytlas-Skwierczynska has been appointed the firm’s Managing Partner in Warsaw, and her predecessor, Andrzej Tokaj, has become Senior Partner Warsaw.
Pytlas-Skwierczynska has been part of the Magnusson team in Warsaw since 2002 and became a Partner in January 2008. She is a member of Magnusson’s firm-wide Management Committee and has been involved in the management of the Warsaw office for several years, primarily in the HR area.
Tokaj, as Senior Partner Warsaw, will continue to focus on client work, with additional responsibilities for partners relations, acting in Magnusson International (where he is the Chairman of the Board), involvement in business development, and strategic planning for the Warsaw office.
An official statement released by the firm included a comment by Pytlas-Skwierczynska: “With Andrzej as the managing partner, the Warsaw office has been continuously thriving. I would like to thank my colleagues for their trust and will do my best to both continue and be inspired from successful management practices introduced by Andrzej.”
As a result of Pytlas-Skwierczynska’s appointment, Magnusson’s two largest offices (in Stockholm and Warsaw) and more than 50% of the Magnusson team are now managed by female Managing Partners (Charlotte Bus is the Managing Partner of Magnusson in Sweden (Gothenburg, Malmo, and Stockholm), and Ligita Ramanauskaite heads up the firm’s Lithuanian operations (Vilnius and Kaunas) and oversees Magnusson’s practice in the Baltic states).
In that same official statement, Tokaj commented on the significance of Pytlas-Skwierczynska’s appointment: “At Magnusson, we are gender-blind. There is no glass ceiling and our principle is to select the best person for the job. Agnieszka is the best person to be at the helm in Warsaw and I am delighted that she will manage our team in Poland.”
