Agnieszka Szamałek-Michalska

Agnieszka graduated from the University of Warsaw after studying International Public Law, but her true dream was to become a psychologist. After 15 years, she succeeded by earning a Master’s Degree in Psychology! Formerly employed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the Polish television industry, Agnieszka began her current career at CD PROJEKT RED as a relocation specialist. During her time at the company, she has experienced a dynamic, developing career path which has seen her create both the HR team, as well as the Internal Communication team. She has always been engaged in women’s rights, and is the founder of the CD PROJEKT Dziewczyny w Grze! mentorship and scholarship program for young girls from smaller towns across Poland. The program aims to introduce and encourage women into the game-development industry, giving them greater representation. Agnieszka is recognized by many as a person who is a wholly empathetic, trustworthy, and people-oriented person. Privately, she is a mother of two: Gabi — who is crazily creative — and Adam, the most exceptional boy on Earth (to Agnieszka, of course!).
