Hrvoje Strepa?ki, our general manager for Europe, recently traveled to Poland to meet the team in person. He met with leaders on the ground to discuss how we can accelerate our growth in the region and ensure our team members have everything they need as they take on new challenges.

Visiting our team in Poland was a great reminder of how much we’re growing in this region. It was fantastic to sit down with everyone and hear firsthand about the exciting projects they’re working on. The energy, passion, and strong sense of teamwork really stood out, and I’m excited to see how we can keep building on this momentum.
