She has dozens of comprehensive digital transformation projects to her credit, thanks to which, among others:
autonomous mobile robots (AGV/AMR) have been implemented in logistics centers and industrial plants,
shopping malls, factories, and logistics companies use intelligent energy management systems, significantly reducing operating costs,
automotive electronics reach CEE markets faster due to a refined omnichannel strategy,
modern smart home solutions have become widely available in Poland, bringing the future of technology closer to the everyday user.
Known for her intuition, courage, and unconventional thinking, she supports technology companies in entering large enterprises, scaling products, and building teams ready for continuous growth.
Her approach is pragmatic and commercial: the strategy is intended to lead realistically to increased sales, better user adoption, and sustainable competitive advantage. An essential part of her mission is strengthening the position of women in the Industry 4.0 ecosystem. Although women constitute only approx. 20% of the workforce in the energy sector, 24% in automotive, and 19% in robotics, Irina actively breaks these statistics: she mentors STEM female leaders, conducts workshops, performs as a keynote speaker, and inspires subsequent generations of female innovators.
Her effectiveness is confirmed by numerous distinctions, including:
E-Commerce Woman 2023 (“Best E-Marketing”),
Polish Smart Development Award 2023 (“Woman of the Future”),
Best Startup Marketer – distinction in the Marketing Director of the Year 2023 competition,
Smart Development Leader Award 2024,
Business Tigers Diamond 2023/2024 for excellence in business,
BusinessWoman Awards 2025,
2026 – two Nominations: Manager of the Year of the Łódź Region 2025 and Success in Business Personality 2025 in the Brand of the Year Plebiscite.
One of Irina’s significant undertakings was the design and organization of the Startup Zone stage at the MODERNLOG trade fair as part of ITM Industry Europe in Poznań (2025) – a new platform that brought together dozens of intralogistics companies and Industry 4.0 experts, creating a space for technology transfer, scaling innovation, and establishing investments. The very positive reception of this initiative has ensured that the stage will also return in this year's edition.

cofounder Wallchain, ex-Google, Meta, Y Combinator, AllianceDAO

For over twenty years, I have been an entrepreneur, and my professional journey has been a continuous search for new challenges and opportunities. I have worked across various industries — from building networks and sales in sectors such as digital television, through renewable energy, to modern technologies, including cryptocurrencies and gaming. Each of these stages has been not only a business endeavor but, above all, a lesson, an experience, and another step in my development.

I have always been fascinated by creating something from scratch and participating in projects that have the potential to make a real impact on people. One such project is the game “Akademia Pana Kleksa,” where I have the pleasure of being a co-producer — it is a particularly important undertaking for me, combining the world of business with creativity and imagination.

Alongside my professional life, family and quality of everyday living have become increasingly important to me. For some time, we had been searching together for a place that could mark the beginning of a new chapter in our lives — a space where the pace is different and life is more intentional.

The breakthrough came unexpectedly. During a vacation in Thailand, something happened that cannot be planned — we fell in love with the place at first sight. The atmosphere, the people, the climate, and the lifestyle made the decision come naturally.

We decided to take a bold step and move there with our entire family. It is not just a change of residence, but above all a new stage — more conscious, closer to nature, and to what truly matters.

A 10-year career across the core pillars of financial technology — international cryptocurrency exchanges, banking, merchant payment solutions, FX trading platforms, and fintech software development — has built a rare end-to-end perspective on how money moves across borders and systems.

As an advisor to early-stage fintech founders, the work centres on designing the payment flows and technical infrastructure needed to launch compliant, scalable cross-border payment operations — turning complex regulatory and technical landscapes into actionable go-to-market strategies.

Founder & CEO, Stabillon | Blockchain Pioneer & Financial Innovator
Andrzej Horoszczak’s story is the ultimate testament to the resilience, ambition, and global impact of the Polish diaspora.

In 1988, as a teenager, Andrzej left the fading shadows of communist Poland to forge a new path in the United States and the United Kingdom. Driven by the immigrant work ethic and a brilliant mind for economics, he earned his way into the Wharton School to study finance. From there, he conquered the traditional financial world, gaining experience at the highest echelons of Wall Street and in the City of London.

But while the West offered unparalleled success, the call of a free and rapidly rising Poland was too strong to ignore.
Returning to his homeland in the early 2000s, Andrzej didn't just want to witness the unprecedented Polish economic boom—he wanted to build its future. Recognizing that technology would outpace traditional banking, he made a bold pivot from high finance into deep tech. He founded Billon, a trailblazing enterprise tech company, and went on to author and hold 8 US and EU patents in advanced blockchain technology.

Today, Andrzej is bringing his journey full circle, seamlessly merging his Wall Street financial acumen with his proprietary tech innovations. His latest venture, Stabillon, is revolutionizing the European digital economy by launching regulated, MiCA-compliant stablecoins. Underscoring his position at the bleeding edge of the industry, Stabillon currently holds the only MiCA license in Poland.

Andrzej holds eight blockchain patents, runs the only company in Poland with a MiCA license for stablecoins, and is here to show us how technology and finance are merging.
