“When I started working as in house counsel, Rafal was one of the people that introduced me to the business aspects of video games. We worked together closely for two years and during that time Rafal continued to share his knowledge and helped me understand how to be a lawyer that video game professionals would appreciate, for which I am extreme grateful. Rafal is crazy effective in getting things done and his passion is contagious. Working with him was an amazing experience that I still miss a lot. ”
About
I have 10 years of experience in the video game and entertainment industry, and I specialize in
3 areas:
Biz Dev and Publishing:
I run the Business development branch for CD PROJEKT RED that includes all AAA games like Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077. I'm responsible for licensing and consumer products, account management, sales and deal making for all things that are bringing revenue or are financed by CDPR.
Creative:
I bring projects from concept to release in many media formats (video games, comic books, TV shows), either as the lead producer or/and creative. I worked with internal cross teams at CDPR but also with outside parties like Netflix, Studio Trigger, Go on Board, CMON, Dark Horse Comics.
