Cultural psychologist & business trainer

Bridging cultures, building trust

Hi, I’m Klaudia. I’m an intercultural trainer, facilitator, and cultural intelligence consultant.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked with leaders, teams, and organizations navigating cultural complexity, from large corporations to international NGOs.

Born in Poland, trained in the UK and Germany, and deeply connected to India, my work is shaped by lived experience, formal education, and a commitment to making global collaboration more human and effective.

My experience

My work bridges psychology and business, taking a practical approach to intercultural training and inclusive leadership.

I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, and I’ve collaborated with clients across Europe, Asia, and North America, particularly in sectors like finance, IT, consulting, logistics, automotive, retail, and FMCG.

My approach is grounded in research, shaped by global exposure, and guided by one question: how can we work better across cultures?

Over the past decade, I’ve been working primarily with corporate clients, including:

Akamai
Avanade
BNP Paribas
Bosch-Siemens (BSHG)
Google
Heineken
IBM
Lufthansa
Luxoft
Motorola Solutions
Shell
State Street
Swarovski
UBS
Warner Music
... and many others

Masala@work

A practical guide to navigating cultural complexity in the workplace. Focused on Indian business culture and collaboration with Indian teams.

It brings together real-world stories, professional insights, and hands-on tools that help readers better understand collaboration, leadership, and communication with Indian teams.

Whether you are based in India, partnering with Indian colleagues, or preparing for a new market, this book offers strategic and human guidance.

 

Originally published in Polish, the book is now available both in Polish and English.

Personal life

My connection with India began over a decade ago, when I became part of an Indian family. Since then, that relationship has become one of my strongest cultural anchors, shaping my personal life and professional path.

Born and raised in Poland, I’ve spent my career helping people navigate the space where cultures meet. I live in Poland, work across borders, and feel at home in multiple places.

This lived experience allows me to understand what it means to lead, collaborate, and communicate across cultures, and I bring that perspective into every training session, keynote, and strategic conversation.

My work is global, but always deeply human.
