Cisco, the networking infrastructure and cyber security giant, has made a strategic change at the top of its Polish structures. Jacek Przybylski, previously leader of the company’s Krakow centre and director of the Customer Experience area in EMEA, has taken over as general manager in Poland. This change comes at a critical time when the local market is shifting its centre of gravity from simple digitalisation towards advanced ecosystems based on artificial intelligence.
Przybylski’s appointment is no coincidence and is part of Cisco’s broader strategy, which emphasises the synergy between professional services and security. The succession from Przemyslaw Kania, who was promoted to regional structures, suggests a continuation of steady growth, but with a new operational focus. Przybylski brings to the role a unique perspective built on 16 years’ experience at Atos, where he specialised in managed services and process optimisation. This proficiency in ‘delivery’ will be key as Polish companies increasingly look not just for hardware, but for comprehensive support in scaling AI technologies.
New leadership means a partner that understands the European (EMEA) services market and is able to translate global innovation into the local realities of Poland’s dynamic economy. Pär Holgersson of Cisco EMEA North points to customer and partner relationships as a priority. Combining the engineering background of the Bydgoszcz University of Technology with the business acumen of HEC Paris, Przybylski seems ideally positioned to navigate this new and challenging technology landscape.
