South Korean multinational electronics company LG has a footprint in the Central European region, and leading the legal and compliance department in this operation is the highly-distinguished Rafał Poznalski, working from his base in Warsaw. Poznalski joined LG Electronics in Poland in 2009 as its head of legal and has made numerous impacts since this time, one nominator is particularly praiseworthy of Poznalski’s work in ‘significantly reducing the costs connected with the legal actions of the company by 75%’. Other achievements include the preparation and implantation of internal policies that have had the effect of ‘increasing the operational efficiency of the company by approximately 40%’ and a compliance program that has ‘led to the decrease in the number of areas threatened by legal risk to zero’. Most recently, Rafał has overseen the merger of its production bases in Poland in order to enhance management efficiency, which involved the tech company moving its production facilities in Wroclaw in western Poland where it produces around three million [television sets] per year to a location in Mlawa’. Poznalski’s previous career roles have seen him assume an in-house position as legal department manager at Capital Group TELMONT, and as a senior lawyer and trade mark specialist at Polish law firms.
