Since the mid-2000s, I have joined several hundred business events, all over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America, taking on various roles.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
I deliver speeches focused on sustainability, leadership, innovation, foreign direct investment, global business services and start-up ecosystems, and the macroeconomic conditions in emerging Europe.
PANELLIST
I join panel discussions exploring the economic transformation in the emerging Europe region, foreign direct investment, global business services, nation branding, innovation and digitalisation, leadership, and start-ups.
EVENT HOST
I host international summits, business conferences, awards ceremonies, corporate events, discussions, chats, and concerts, both online and offline, in large halls and small rooms. And even in a salt mine, over 100 metres below sea level.

MODERATOR
I moderate panel discussions and fireside chats with business, government, and world leaders. Topics range from innovation in energy, through the macroeconomic situation in emerging Europe to the future of capitalism. And I can do all three in the same day!
Take a look at some of my engagements and at what others have said about me.
I’m grateful for all Andrew did to prepare and moderate the excellent Tech for Transformation session at the 2023 Ukraine Recovery Conference. He was fantastically helpful in advising the team, and in the thought, effort, persistence and excellent interpersonal skills he deployed to pull off such a complex event. And I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

Since 2019, Andrew has been an integral part of the K.E.Y. Platform conference, and he currently serves as the host for the international track. We highly appreciate not only his European connections but also his exceptional skills and experience as a host, which are complemented by his extensive knowledge of geopolitics, macroeconomics, sustainability, and innovation.

Andrew is a great event host who can handle even the most challenging situations with ease. He adapts to circumstances quickly, finds solutions promptly, and executes flawlessly.

Marianne Rutz's guest today is Andrew Wrobel, Founding Partner of Emerging Europe. We discuss the current challenges Eastern Europe is facing, but also what we can learn from them and why we think people there are more resilient, work harder, and are more committed to service delivery than in other parts of the world!
I hosted the Summit and moderated two fireside chats, one with Ambassador Baiba Braže, NATO's Assistant Secretary-General for Public Diplomacy, and the other one with Sir Malcolm Rifkind, former UK's Foreign Secretary.
I hosted the session Building Europe’s resilience through digital transformation: The emerging Europe perspective — a session organised by Emerging Europe and EuroNavigator, and hosted by MEP Karlo Ressler (HR/EEP), and the participation of MEPs from across the emerging Europe region.
This week on Tech Brains Talk, Flavilla is joined by Andrew Wrobel. They discuss how the Ukraine conflict has affected IT businesses still in the country, the business opportunities in Eastern Europe, Africa and India and how you can access them.
I moderated an online discussion on how PR experts in Ukraine are winning the PR war.
