I work with managers who want to lead better

For the past 20 years, I’ve been a manager — including roles such as Managing Director at InPost, CEO of eBilet Polska, founder of Fixly, and a member of the Management Team at OLX Group. I’ve also worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company, and served as a mentor at MIT Enterprise Forum, Vital Voices, and BCG EmpowerPL. I’m a member of the Forbes 25 Under 25 jury and an experienced offshore skipper.  

For the last ten years — a trusted advisor to leaders like you. Leaders who want to improve how their teams and businesses operate — but who are also looking for support in their personal growth. They want to better understand why things are the way they are, and work together to make them better.

It’s worth it – they say

„Marcin was an invaluable sparing partner during the development of Displate’s new strategy. His hands-on business-building experience was truly instrumental. The combination of emotional intelligence and a direct, outcome-focused mindset makes him a rare and outstanding advisor.”
Bartek Małecki CEO Displate

“I owe him a major turning point in my career. He will definitely say out loud what you’re afraid to hear!”

Dorota Wróbel CEO G2A
Over 200 law firm owners first listened to him in silence, and moments later burst out laughing. That’s exactly how Marcin talks about the challenging topics of management and team building. Even many months later, they would say, “We want Dakowski again.” Marcin has a remarkable way of sharing knowledge and inspiring change.
Jacek Stanisławski Founder Legal Market Days
„Marcin’s involvement brought a real shift to our company — leadership grew stronger, collaboration improved, and the changes led to measurable outcomes. I fully endorse working with him for his real-world perspective, deep expertise, and understanding of what great leadership takes.”

Marcin stands out for his directness and sharp insights – sometimes brutally honest, always constructive. Working with him proved to be crucial in building the solid foundations of our organization.

The way i work

I work with C-level executives, founders, entrepreneurs, and managers on everything that holds them back from achieving the results they want. These can be challenges related to their companies, teams, and colleagues — but also to themselves: priorities, struggles, doubts, and inner conflicts.
I focus on helping you wisely and effectively structure the team you lead. I’ve built organizations from scratch and led multiple restructuring projects — including as a CEO. With my clients, I work on developing conscious leadership: the kind that delivers real impact, feels natural, and brings genuine joy in the role.
That’s why I spend a lot of time with clients talking about their doubts, challenges, and limitations. Leaders are constantly on the run — but during our sessions, we slow down, take a breath, question old assumptions, and take a closer look at what truly matters. Because who we are as leaders has the biggest influence on our teams. I have a background in psychotherapy.
My work is primarily focused on 1:1 sessions. You can schedule one directly through this site. But I can also work with your top team or your entire company. In that case, feel free to reach out to me directly. Whenever possible, I also offer support for non-profit organizations. Get in touch if I might be of help.

I write a newsletter. Join the leaders who read it regularly.

Managers. I talk to them. But also write for them.

Let’s talk. Drop me a message.
