Mark Tutssel, Leo Burnett Worldwide Chief Creative Officer said, “Jarek is a person who lives for creativity. His leadership skills and business acumen are second to none. This is a fitting tribute to a man who has spent his life being a champion of creativity in this region (Central and Eastern Europe).”
