Accounting and HR Team

Urszula P - Pro-Tec HR Coordinator​

Urszula P.

HR Coordinator

With 22+ years in HR, I’ve seen it all—hiring, firing, growing teams, solving people problems, and building cultures that actually work. I thrive on creating clarity in chaos and helping both companies and individuals hit their stride.

Outside of work, I’m a competitive tennis player, a fast (sometimes too fast) driver, and a home cook who can pull off impressive meals—just don’t expect pastries. Baking and I don’t get along. I have zero plumbing skills, but give me a creative project—furniture, design, anything hands-on—and I’m all in. I’m not an artist in the traditional sense, but I love building, making, and experimenting.

Born and raised in Bialystok, Poland, I move easily between cultures and conversations, and bring that same flexibility and curiosity into everything I do.
