    Lingaro Group, the end-to-end data services partner to global brands and enterprises, announces the creation of its new Supervisory Board (SVB). The SVB will be chaired by Lingaro cofounders Tomasz Rogucki and Sebastian Stygar who are joined by industry leaders Kent Holding and Marek Kośnik.

    The Lingaro Group management team and the SVB believe that business success is driven by continuous investment in people, strategy, and governance. A strong team and a clear strategy are now in place. The creation of the SVB will be a complementary step in ensuring robust and effective corporate governance, providing guidance and supporting Lingaro Group CEO Sam Mantle and the Executive Leadership Team in successfully executing and accomplishing the strategy of Lingaro’s ambitious long-term goals.

    “Our new Supervisory Board reflects our growing maturity as an organization and our readiness to bring additional external ideas and leadership in guiding the company. The SVB will enable us to embrace the opportunities of tomorrow and further solidify our position as an industry leader. We retain, at the same time, the agility and core values that have been the foundation of our success over the last 16 years,” said Lingaro cofounder Tomasz Rogucki. 

    “Our governance model is designed to foster an environment of trust and mutual respect, which is essential for the kind of innovative and responsive leadership that has always driven our success. Kent Holding brings a deep understanding of financial strategy and management, while Marek Kośnik offers insights from his extensive background in private equity, strategy consulting, and in founding and managing companies. Their collective experience will provide a fresh perspective on investment strategies and business growth, enriching our discussions and helping shape a prosperous future for Lingaro,” explained Lingaro cofounder Sebastian Stygar.

    Since its inception in 2008, Lingaro has built a reputation for delivering the highest quality of data and analytics services to some of the largest and best-known brands and companies in the world. Over the last 16 years, Lingaro’s geographic footprint has expanded from its home in Poland across the world and now includes senior talent and scaled delivery capability in the Philippines, India, Switzerland, and Mexico.

    “The effective use of data assets in business decision-making and differentiation has always been important. As we enter the era of AI, the importance of data has never been more critical. We are now building upon our strong legacy of helping our clients to design, build, and run their data and analytics capabilities to deliver against the promise of AI. There is a growing scale and complexity to our business, and I am excited about working with our new SVB to help us navigate it. The combined experience of the SVB will significantly contribute to shaping our strategic direction, ensuring we remain innovative and continue delivering exceptional value to our clients,” added Sam Mantle.

    Tomasz Rogucki, Lingaro cofounder and SVB member, has been involved in various aspects of driving the company’s fast-paced growth. In his previous roles, he built win-win partnerships with customers and expanded the company’s client base. He is an advocate of the company’s continuous professionalization and most recently, he has been responsible for establishing its new corporate governance model. Prior to cofounding Lingaro, Tomasz worked at Hewlett-Packard and at Procter & Gamble where he started his professional career. Tomasz values mutual respect and believes in the power of diverse teams.

    Sebastian Stygar cofounded Lingaro in 2008 after more than 10 years with Procter & Gamble and Hewlett-Packard Poland, where he directed the P&G Account Delivery for Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. He also led HP’s Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing Center of Excellence, a platform supporting over 800 professionals around the globe. An innovative technologist early to sense market opportunities, he led Lingaro’s evaluations of new ventures as well as product and service development. He also led the company’s R&D initiatives. 

    Kent Holding has held CFO roles at banks in Switzerland and Poland as well as media/telecom operations in Poland, Croatia, the UK, and Slovakia. Kent believes in active management to maximize the benefits for stakeholders. Kent most recently served as an advisor to entrepreneurs and private equity investors to facilitate business growth and development. During his tenure, he has helped start up, finance, restructure, acquire, and dispose of several businesses for T-Mobile, US WEST International, Montagu Private Equity, and GE Capital, among others. Kent sees people leadership and development as a key to success as much as finance analysis.

    Marek Kośnik specializes in designing and executing company strategies, managing investments, overseeing restructuring initiatives, and leading digital transformations. Marek holds key roles in other organizations, including Deputy Chairman of Kulczyk Investments. He has also been a Deputy Chairman in CIECH’s Supervisory Board since January 2019. He is the co-CEO of BaseLinker, an e-commerce SaaS software, as well as LISEK.APP, a fast-growing q-commerce startup. Previously, he was Senior Managing Director at CVC Capital Partners, focusing on investment evaluation, portfolio supervision, and digital strategy implementation. His earlier career included positions at Bain & Company, Terra Firma Capital Partners, and McKinsey & Company.


    “Kent and Marek will bring a dynamic blend of expertise that will support Lingaro’s strategic financial planning and investment capabilities. Their involvement is pivotal as we continue to innovate and expand our services globally,” added Sam Mantle.
