Panattoni strengthens leadership with key appointments in Capital Markets Poland division

Panattoni has announced a series of strategic personnel changes in its Capital Markets Poland division, aimed at enhancing the company’s ability to navigate the evolving real estate landscape. Damian Stężycki, Joanna Karwowska, and Michał Stanisławski will assume key leadership roles, reinforcing Panattoni’s growth trajectory and solidifying its market position in Poland.

Damian Stężycki has been named Managing Director for Capital Markets Poland. With over two decades of experience in the real estate industry, including 16 years at Panattoni, Stężycki will oversee the strategic management of the company’s Capital Markets operations. His responsibilities will include leading both financing and capital markets initiatives, ensuring that Panattoni maintains its strong growth while continuing to meet the expectations of its investment partners.

“The strategic changes within our Capital Markets division will allow us to better respond to market dynamics and investor needs. Our goal is to maintain Panattoni’s growth in Poland and uphold our high standards of collaboration with capital partners,” Stężycki stated. He holds an Executive MBA from the Warsaw University of Technology Business School and has built strong relationships with key investors across Europe.

Michał Stanisławski, formerly the Head of Asset Dispositions Poland, steps into the role of Co-Head of Capital Markets Poland. Bringing 15 years of experience in real estate, Stanisławski has led transactions totaling approximately EUR 2 billion during his tenure at Panattoni. In his new position, he will serve as the main contact for investors interested in partnering with Panattoni, while continuing to lead sales of completed assets in Poland. Stanisławski holds a master’s degree in real estate from the Warsaw School of Economics and has completed postgraduate studies in real estate valuation at the University of Reading.

Reflecting on the current market conditions, Stanisławski noted, “The real estate market is transitioning into a new phase, with declining financing costs sparking renewed interest from investors, especially in Poland’s industrial sector. Panattoni’s ESG-compliant and strategically located assets are highly attractive to international investors.”

Joanna Karwowska, previously Director of Capital Markets Poland, has been promoted to Co-Head of Capital Markets Poland alongside Stanisławski. With over 20 years of experience in real estate and a track record of executing complex investment structures, Karwowska has been instrumental in securing some of Panattoni’s largest joint ventures and forward funding deals. In her new role, she will focus on structuring partnerships with investors, overseeing key transactions, and managing ongoing projects. Karwowska holds legal degrees from the University of Warwick and Saarland University.

The appointments of Stężycki, Stanisławski, and Karwowska mark a significant strategic move for Panattoni as it continues to expand its operations and meet the growing demand in the Polish real estate market.
