Arkadiusz (Arek)Szadkowski
I seek for respect not the attention, it last longer.
Did you know that 90% of digital "data" ever created was created in last 2 years?
I'm passionate about bridging the gap between complex geospatial data, customer needs, and business opportunities.
Inspired by possibility to change the way people look on world by processing, analyzing and visualizing the digital data.
A virtual representation (digital twin) of any physical asset or process can be used to understand and predict the counterpart’s performance.
The future is digital, where most of decision is and will be taken in front of the screens.
I have led number projects and large scale productions in reality capture, reality mapping, 3D modeling and more, using technologies like LiDAR, Photogrammetry, airborne and mobile mapping.
Worked also in past as a CISO, successfully built and maintained cybersecurity program, ensuring the security and privacy of data and products, and achieved and sustained ISO 27001 certification.

Thoughtsthat define me well
CFO: what will happen if we invest into our people and they leave us?
CEO: what happens if we don't and they will stay?
If You want to go fast, go alone. If You want to go far, go with others.
Seek for respect not the attention, it last longer.
Make more moves and less announcements
Your mind is like a bank, what you deposit is what you can withdraw.
The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do.
Success is a journey not a finish line
I have never met a strong person with an easy past
It takes very powerful man to be with a powerful woman.
A man with dreams needs a women with a vision
Remember why you started
