Marta ŻycińskaCountry Manager Poland

Mastercard Europe

Marta-Zycinska

Since May 2023, I have been serving as the Country Manager for the Polish branch of Mastercard Europe. In this role, I am responsible for steering the company’s strategic direction and cultivating business growth within Poland.

I have been with Mastercard since 2016. Initially, I headed the marketing department in Poland and later was promoted to Vice President roles first overseeing Marketing and Communications for 21 countries, and later fintech enablement and prepaid marketing globally in our U.S. headquarters.

Before joining Mastercard, I was developing marketing and brand at PZU Group, and earlier, spent couple year at Orange.

Beyond my corporate responsibilities, I extend my expertise to startups, advising them on scaling their operations. I am also an advocate for diversity and inclusion within the workplace, actively involved in mentoring and DEI projects. During my tenure as a Country Manager, I have emphasized supporting Ukrainian citizens through initiatives like Rebuilding Ukrainian Business, which helped female-led Ukrainian companies in Poland.

As a candidate for the AmCham Board of Directors, my key priority for the next two years would be to foster a robust business environment that attracts even more American investment to Poland, which is important more than ever in the history of U.S. business presence in Poland since 1989. My second major focus will be to promote diversity and inclusion within the wider business community.

I am ready to work with dedication to ensure that AmCham continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening the economic ties between the U.S. and Poland.
