MAJSTER-POL / Co-owner/CEO

My whole professional life has been devoted to the company that my father built. We produce construction chemistry. I started as a receptionist when I was still a teenager, later I worked as a consultant, then a brand manager, and now, 13 years later, I am the CEO. The history of our company started with a crisis through no fault of our own. This is why I feel a personal link to the Early Warning Europe Programme, where I have been a mentor for 3 years now. I am a passionate entrepreneur and wish to pass on my passion to others. I love dogs, good food, great books and travelling.

Joanna Śnioch Młynarska

I am a lawyer by profession but I have a big passion for cooking, gardening and a traveling. I was an owner of three prosperous companies from the insurance industry. I lost the largest and most profitable one two years ago. Then I sold two others. I am currently conducting a small restaurant and a hotel.  Together with my brother I also revitalized an old house in the city center of Poznań.  Every company which I owned and for which I have worked in my life were the family company.  My goal is to open a travel agency next year offering a unique combination of history and life-cooking. In the EWE project I am a mentor and mentee at the same time.

Po poklicu sem pravnica, vendar so moja strast kuhanje, vrtnarjenje in potovanja. Bila sem lastnica treh dobro stoječih podjetij s področja zavarovalništva. Največje in najbolj dobičkonosno od njih sem izgubila pred dvema letoma. Nato sem prodala obe drugi. Trenutno vodim majhno restavracijo in hotel.  Skupaj s svojim bratom sem obnovila tudi staro hišo v središču Poznańa.  Vsa podjetja, ki sem jih imela v lasti in za katera sem delala v življenju, so bila družinska podjetja.  Moj cilj je, da bi naslednje leto odprla potovalno agencijo, ki bi ponujala edinstveno kombinacijo zgodovine in kuhanja. V projektu EWE sem hkrati mentorica in mentoriranka.

Joanna Śnioch Młynarska

Mentors’ development manager in EWE  - FFR  - Poland 

I have been a co-owner of three insurance companies for many years.

In meantime I was thinking about my future and decided, together with my brother, to revitalize an old building in the center of Poznań. Our idea was to use that building as a hotel.We took a credit to reach our goal.

My business was prospering , so I also had cash to finance revitalization. Two and a half years ago I lost my company and as the result  also the financial liquidity.

This and other reasons led to a relationship crisis between me and my brother.

In 2019 I asked for Early Warning Support for me and my company Śnioch I Partnerzy .  After  few months, there is still not  wonderful situation, but we talk to each other what is  great and I know that we will achieve our business goals.

Joanna Śnioch Młynarska

Direktorica razvoja mentorjev v EWE  - FFR  - Poljska

Dolga leta sem solastnica treh zavarovalnic.

Med tem pa sem razmišljala tudi o svoji prihodnosti in se skupaj s svojim bratom odločila, da bom obnovila staro stavbo v središču Poznańa. Najina ideja je bila, da bi stavbo uporabila kot hotel. Za ta namen sva najela kredit.

Moji posli so cveteli, tako da sem imela tudi dovolj gotovine za financiranje obnove. Pred dvema letoma in pol pa sem izgubila svoje podjetje in kot posledico tudi finančno likvidnost.

To je bil eden od razlogov, ki je povzročil krizo v odnosu med menoj in mojim bratom.

Leta 2019 sem zaprosila za pomoč z »Early Warning« zase in za svoje podjetje Śnioch I Partnerzy .  Po nekaj mesecih položaj sicer še ni čudovit, ampak vsaj govoriva drug z drugim, kar je odlično, in vem, da bova dosegla svoje poslovne cilje.
