Siwiec is a member of the European Parliament, heading the delegation to Ukraine.
Siwiec believes that with representation from a broad range of industries, markets, and geographies, the GLC provides both scholars and students in the local academic community a “window on the world.” And given the growing global content of business, that is more important than ever.
Siwiec’s assessment, “is to stay this way in the fast changing global business environment.” Marek Siwiec’s presence on the GLC is certainly helping us to just that.
