He has managed international projects and developed warehouse operations in global companies such as TNT, H&amp;M Logistics, CHEP, and FM Logistic. Now, he is taking on a new challenge \u2013 to bring new momentum to the development of warehousing services within the OMIDA Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this conversation, he talks about his unconventional career path, his approach to management, core values, and what influenced his decision to choose OMIDA Solutions as the place for his next professional chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your journey into logistics had a rather unconventional beginning. How did it all start?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Szymon:<\/strong>\u00a0Completely by accident. During a gap year in the UK, I ended up at the distribution center for Primark &amp; Pennies. I started from the bottom \u2013 as a warehouse worker \u2013 but quickly moved up through the organizational ranks, gaining experience in operations and management. The environment drew me in \u2013 it was dynamic, full of challenges, and entirely free of routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What was the turning point during your work abroad?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Szymon:<\/strong>\u00a0Transitioning from operational work to the warehouse administration department, which was responsible for implementing a new WMS system. That experience gave me insight into logistics from a process and technology perspective. Over time, I took on roles as Team Leader and then Shift Manager. It was then that I realized the tremendous potential of well-designed processes and teams \u2013 and that I wanted to return to Poland to apply my experience locally.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1{max-width:776px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal:not(.kb-section-md-dir-vertical)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1{-webkit-flex:0 1 776px;flex:0 1 776px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1{position:relative;}@media all and (min-width: 1025px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1{-webkit-flex:0 1 776px;flex:0 1 776px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-sm-dir-vertical:not(.kb-section-sm-dir-horizontal):not(.kb-section-sm-dir-specificity)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1{max-width:776px;-webkit-flex:1;flex:1;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5867_d6dc37-b1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"5870\" src=\"https:\/\/omida-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/magazyny-omida-slutions-blog-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omida-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/magazyny-omida-slutions-blog-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/omida-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/magazyny-omida-slutions-blog-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omida-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/magazyny-omida-slutions-blog-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omida-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/magazyny-omida-slutions-blog-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What were your next steps after returning to Poland?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Szymon:<\/strong>\u00a0I first joined H&amp;M Logistics, where I gained valuable experience in e-commerce and managing large-scale warehouse operations. Then I began a 7-year journey with CHEP \u2013 a global leader in pallet and container pooling. There, I held various roles \u2013 from Asset Management to European Key Account Manager. I had the opportunity to work with key clients and manage complex project portfolios on an international scale. I value this time especially for the high organizational standards and a culture deeply invested in skills development and people \u2013 something I benefited from many times myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How have those experiences influenced your approach to management?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Szymon:<\/strong>\u00a0They confirmed my belief that people are the greatest asset of any organization. Technologies, systems, and structures are important, but it\u2019s the teams \u2013 their knowledge, skills, and attitude \u2013 that determine success. I know how to build environments that not only deliver results but also grow sustainably over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>And then came FM Logistic?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Szymon:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes \u2013 that was another significant stage, where I worked on large, often transformational projects for clients. From initial outsourcing implementations to supply chain optimization. I had the opportunity to co-design solutions and transition operations while maintaining full continuity and efficiency. That brought great satisfaction \u2013 the awareness that together we were creating practical business value through real-world solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
