About Me
Dr. Mateusz Panek

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO AI, SUSTAINABILITY,
AND COMPLIANCE.

Triple doctorate holder (PhD, LLD, DBA) with 16 years of international experience in the intersection of artificial intelligence, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

My career began in operations and strategic management — restructuring supply chains, leading logistics turnarounds, and driving international growth for companies across Europe. That hands-on operational foundation is what I now bring to sustainability strategy and AI-driven compliance, having created and scaled a dedicated practice serving Fortune-listed organizations at Lingaro Group. I bring boardroom insight into academic teaching, ensuring students engage with real-world scenarios, not theoretical abstractions.

My work moves between enterprise consulting, executive education, and independent advisory — bridging the gap between what regulators demand and what organizations can realistically deliver. I work with organizations navigating the AI revolution, sustainability regulation — from CSRD and GRI to the EU AI Act and PPWR — and the broader shift toward accountable, data-driven governance.

My teaching philosophy: merge 16 years of international business experience with cutting-edge research. My students don’t just learn frameworks—they learn to think critically about technology’s role
in building a sustainable, compliant, and human-centered future.
