Zarząd ELPADRE

 

El Padre event agency

For almost 20 years we have been creating experiences – congresses, meetings, galas, integrations, brand zones and out-of-the-box activities – the event industry has no secrets from us. Combining creativity, courage and professionalism, we realise unforgettable events tailored to our clients’ needs. The impressions we provide are widely recognised, as evidenced by the title of the most frequently recommended event agency (according to Millward Brown for “Media i Marketing Polska”), agency of the year and numerous awards, including MP Power, Golden Arrow and Kreatura. Thanks to their active participation in the professional environment and their work for the quality of the entire MICE area, El Padre’s board members have also been awarded the title of MICE Industry Man of the Year several times ( Człowieka Roku Branży MICE).

SEBASTIAN OPRZĄDEK

President of the Management Board
He enjoys challenges and difficult projects the most. When others ask "why", Sebastian will always ask: "and why not?". At work, he is familiar with new functions in Excel. In his spare time, he cooks, bakes, plays active sports or watches documentaries. He always finds a moment for a good read - a report, an article or a book. Big fan of basketball and the NBA league. He travels and visits interesting corners of the world.

WOJCIECH CŁAPIŃSKI

Vice-President of the Management Board
A madman in retirement because, he claims, he has already gone wild. "Write that I like sitting on the allotment and mowing the grass or chopping wood," he says. Of course, this modest description does not exhaust Wojtek's wide-ranging interests, so it is worth mentioning that in addition to the family values to which he adheres, he is consumed by Legia Warsaw, and everything connected with it. 

PIOTR KARASIŃSKI

Vice-President of the Management Board / Realization Director
To his friends "Karaś". He likes water, especially when he can sail or motorboat on it. If he could, he would ride a motorbike on it, but he can't, so he rides it on a paved surface. When he doesn't have petrol, he takes to reading books, preferably ones that will reveal to him the mysteries of the Second World War. Besides, he can be assertive, which is good news for the clients to whom Karas organizes events. 

JAKUB ĆWIKLIŃSKI

Vice-President of the Management Board / Event Director 
A great lover of sailing in the Mazury region. This is the only place where Jakub really relaxes. When he does something, he does it 100% - which is why he has joined the ranks of El Padre, where he can give his all on the battlefield, even with a sprained ankle.

She only sits down on the sofa for films and documentary books because she is constantly trying to understand the world. And when she's had enough of challenges, she and her partner hole up in a cabin under the woods and together they behave like "old grandparents" - listening to jazz from vinyl and watching squirrels.
