What has GPX meant to you?

I joined GPX around 2 years ago, with the goal to change the way we collaborated with data scientists. Coming from a technical world I’d had exposure to business problems in my past roles, specifically when leading a start up or working in a big tech company. However, nothing matched the scale or complexity I’ve experienced at Globalpraxis. 

In GPX I’ve had the chance to be directly involved in several strategy projects with Fortune 500 companies. This experience has been like a paid master for me, now I understand way better the nuances of how companies achieve sustainable growth. As a result, my business acumen has reached new heights, complementing my technical expertise and creating a well-rounded, balanced professional profile.

How is life in GPX?

At Globalpraxis, no two days are the same. With an average project length of 12 to 16 weeks, and clients spanning sectors and regions across the globe, I find myself immersed in new challenges almost daily. My experience has brought me from Poland, working on a Logistics project to India where I contributed to a corporate strategy initiative. In both cases, I’ve had the chance to advise C-level executives on pivotal business transformations. 

At Globalpraxis, we follow an outside in approach which means fully immersing ourselves in the client’s world, working, traveling and living with them and their cultures. Shadowing is also shadowing a key part of our work. By following and learning from frontline salespeople across geographies, I’ve had the chance to truly learn from several cultures and ways of doing business.

Project that specifically stuck with you? 

A particular project that stood out to me was the transformation of a vending machine business unit in Japan. We helped the #1 vending machine operator to completely change the way their operated, both in terms of logistic, assortment of machines and prospection (determining optimal locations for new machines).  This deep dive gave us an insight into the vending business and was an passionate challenge from us. Our job, ultimately turned around the profitability of the unit, serving as the crown of this extensive project

Aside from work, staying in Tokyo for over four months was an incredible opportunity. Immersing myself in the fascinating Japanese culture and visiting, along with the team, several landmarks across the country, truly stuck with me.
