Agata Lewandowska

Client: Agata Lewandowska was head of administration and facility management at the Polish affiliate of a multinational engineering and technology company.

Industry: Manufacturing, Non-Profit, NGO

Function: Management, Consulting, Technical Management

Challenge: A relocation to Geneva combined with the outbreak of the pandemic made for a very difficult job search for someone with a thin network outside of her home country.

Process: The Career Plan helped Agata articulate her professional identity and she embraced TCD’s networking process.

Landing: Agata landed a position that perfectly intersects her values and professional interests – an operational efficiency consultant for a major non-governmental organization in Geneva.

For 13 years Agata Lewandowska worked for the Polish affiliate of a multinational engineering and technology company, based in Warsaw. Starting out as an assistant to the office managing director, Agata worked her way up through the organization to reach head of administration and facility management.

„All the things The Career Doctor taught me about networking I used to engage people who didn’t even know they needed to know me.”

The pandemic compounded her challenges. One day after Agata arrived in Geneva, the country went into full lockdown. Job searching during a global pandemic with a thin network outside of Poland was going to be very difficult, so Agata hired The Career Doctor to help her find opportunities.

„The Career Plan gave me a lot of energy. I worked with Rita Boie. Her approach was just perfect for what I needed. She helped me figure out who I was and what I could offer.”

„By the time I landed, I had 2,500 LinkedIn connections!”

She is now an operational efficiency consultant, helping the organization streamline operations and optimize administrative functions – a role that intersects her values and her professional interests.

„Everything about this job is perfect. It’s a values-driven organization. I work in a very international team. The job checks all my boxes.”
