In this episode of K>VOICES, we speak with Piotr, Head of Global Manufacturing Engineering at KIRCHHOFF Automotive, about his nearly 20‑year journey with the company and the experiences that shaped his approach to global leadership.
Starting his career as a manufacturing engineer in Poland, Piotr’s path has taken him across Europe, North America, Mexico, and China, where he supported plant expansions, new facility launches, and cross‑regional engineering teams. He shares what it’s like to lead a global function, how cultural differences influence collaboration, and why teamwork is critical behind every major milestone.
Beyond the technical side of the role, Piotr opens up about relocating internationally with his family, adapting to new environments, and what he values most after years of travel.
