Sławomir Skrzypek

Polish central banker (1963-2010)

Sławomir Skrzypek belongs to the commercial record as a figure whose ventures outlasted the conditions that produced them.

The record lists Sławomir Skrzypek as Polish central banker (1963-2010).

Sławomir Skrzypek was born at Katowice in 1963. His recorded nationality is Poland. He was educated at University of Wisconsin–Madison and Georgetown University.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as economist, banker and engineer.

Commercial success is easy to measure and hard to interpret; timing and market do much of the work.

Recognition followed: Commander with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2010).

That the business was built from Poland shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Sławomir Skrzypek died in 2010, aged 47. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
