British citizen, born in Warsaw, I fled the communist regime on a merchant ship carrying vodka to Ipswich, UK. I fell in love with a French girl and we settled in France, near Versailles, where I pursued a rich corporate career as Marketing & Communication director of several international blue chip companies, such as Unibail-Rodamco or VINCI. I co-organised the 1995 election of Jacques Chirac, the president most appreciated by the French and received Fidel Castro in 1995 and Benazir Bhutto on non-official visits in Paris. I established Tradwell, a company specialised in technical, legal and literary translations and language training in 2013 and am active on main social media.view less
