KAROL KATNER

IN BRIEF

BIOGRAPHY

Italian mother, Polish father, traveler by vocation. Since my thesis in International Business, I have primarily focused on management and expansion of foreign markets for companies as Export Manager. Over the years, my career has allowed me to visit every continent, gaining strong commercial and institutional skills. The desire to travel and discover new cultures has always been at the center of my priorities. This passion has projected me into an international life, guiding me toward the profession I currently practice.

BUSINESS

From an entrepreneurial perspective, I have invested abroad in the restaurant industry. I co-manage two venues in Warsaw with a group of partners: a bar that has been repeatedly mentioned by Vogue Polska in the list of the top 10 venues nationwide, and an Italian restaurant specializing in the production of handmade fresh pasta.
