Agata Szymczak

With nearly 8 years at Amazon, she serves as Regional Procurement Manager, leading a team responsible for purchasing operations across Amazon's fulfillment centers in Poland. In her day-to-day role, she combines people leadership with strategic thinking – building her team's capabilities, identifying, and nurturing each team member's individual strengths, while coordinating procurement processes at a regional level and actively shaping organizational standards. She is part of the regional AI initiatives team, co-creating artificial intelligence-powered solutions that streamline daily workflows for procurement teams across EMEA. Beyond procurement, she is deeply involved in communication initiatives – she owns internal communication across the EMEA region, organizing and leading quarterly meetings for procurement managers, building bridges between teams and countries. She believes that effective procurement is not just about negotiations and contracts, but above all about people, relationships, and the courage to step outside one's comfort zone.
