DARIUSZ WOJCIK
I am a financial and economic geographer. My interest in geography first peaked when I was 17 and won the Polish National Geography Olympiad in 1990, when Poland started transitioning to a democracy and a market economy, reshaping the map of the country and the world. Over the following years I studied for master’s degrees in geography and economics at Jagiellonian University and Cracow University of Economics. A Swedish government grant allowed me to do a masters in finance and banking at Stockholm University as well. After completing master’s degrees in 1996, I worked as an auditor for an international consultancy KPMG in Poland. Experience gained at KPMG, and financial support from USAID and Harvard School of Public Health helped me co-author my first book on Financial Management in Health Care, the first textbook on the topic in Poland.
