Background

About Anna Lipiec

I’m Anna Lipiec, a materials engineer with over 18 years of experience in R&D and technology development, specializing in fiber optic cables, polymer extrusion, and transformer insulation systems. As a strategic implementer with the heart of an advisor and the soul of a pioneer, I transform complex engineering challenges into sustainable solutions that create lasting impact. What sets me apart? I blend engineering precision with emotional intelligence, building bridges between people, processes, and ideas. I believe the best innovations are born where listening, authenticity, and diverse perspectives are valued. As a Creator & Pioneer, I generate innovative ideas, identify patterns, and deliver solutions that drive real results in dynamic R&D environments. I’ve led Stage Gate product development, authored patents, and implemented technologies across global teams. My CliftonStrengths — Restorative, Achiever, Activator, Harmony, and Responsibility — fuel my ability to lead with care, solve problems with purpose, and deliver ethical project outcomes under pressure. As a proud Hitachi Brand Ambassador, I advocate for diversity in engineering and co-create Women in Tech initiatives. Through my collaboration with Lodz University of Technology, I mentor the next generation of engineers, especially women, to shape an inclusive future. Outside work, I recharge in my garden, with a good book, or surrounded by loved ones. My motto? Innovate with precision, lead with passion. Let’s connect if you’re seeking a leader who combines strategic thinking, mentoring, and innovation management to build solutions that matter.
