Izabela Kasparek

I have over 25 years of experience across the fields of Marketing, Sales & General Management within big international companies in the consumer goods industry.

Started my career by joining an Internship program at Unilever whilst still studying at Szkoła Główna Handlowa. Stayed in the company for the next 5 years working in brand marketing & communication. Switched to Diageo to gain more experience in trade marketing but also to learn new ways of communicating with consumers in a very regulated market. Joined 3M in 2007 as European Product Manager focusing on new product pipeline identification and regional campaigns development. Since then, I have held multiple roles bringing me now to the Regional Business Group Leader for Consumer products for Central Europe. I am leading a multi-country organization (Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands) responsible for managing the overall operations with full accountability for the financial performance, team leadership and development.

 “Replace the fear of the unknown with curiosity” is one of my mottos along with “walk the talk”.
