Why have you chosen to work in Kazakhstan?
I’ve been in the real estate industry since 2006, combining work and studies. After getting my Master’s degree, I established my position in international real estate through projects in Poland, Germany and Slovakia. I also worked in Bulgaria in 2008.
Then, in 2012, I moved to Kazakhstan. I’ve always loved to travel, visit new countries and learn new cultures, but Kazakhstan was for personal reasons: my wife is Kazakh. We studied Real Estate Management and Investment together at Cracow University of Economics.
