Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTomasz Szymanski is a people-first technology leader and founder with 15+ years of experience building and scaling engineering organizations rooted in transparency, empowerment, and bottom-up decision making. As founder and long-time head of SoftwareMill and now Chief People Officer at VirtusLab, he blends hands-on engineering pedigree in Scala, distributed systems and blockchain with strategic talent, culture and employer-branding leadership. He architects teal, self-organized structures and low-churn cultures that enable technical teams to tackle complex problems—from event sourcing and Kafka pipelines to ML and blockchain research—while prioritizing individual well-being. A frequent speaker and podcast guest, Tomasz is equally comfortable coaching leaders as he is rolling up his sleeves on technical strategy, and he intentionally leverages his EMBA to scale business growth without losing the company’s human-centered DNA.
