About
Hi, I’m Jarosław Królewski — a self-declared workaholic from a small Polish village (Hańczowa), driven by a deep fascination with modern technology (AI, Big Data, Deep Tech), with a passion for football and science.
I am a Young Global Leader™ by the World Economic Forum, recently appointed by the Prime Minister of Poland to the Council of the Future, and by the President of Poland to the Business Council. I’m obsessed with personal productivity and building systems that make the most of every minute. I believe the best work happens at the intersection of relentless curiosity and radical focus.
