Jadwiga Gajda, a Polish woman living in France, has served as Chief Product Officer for Workplace at CAGIP since 2025. With more than 18 years of experience in IT and organizational transformation, she has worked at the heart of demanding sectors such as banking, insurance, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Her international career—spanning Europe, the United States, and China—has shaped a strong conviction: technology has value only if it serves collective progress and empowers teams. Originally trained in psycholinguistic research and holding an Executive MBA from École des Ponts et Chaussées and the Fox School of Business, Jadwiga Gajda combines analytical rigor, strategic vision, and leadership skills. She built her practical expertise in consulting (at firms such as Capgemini and Deloitte) and then within the Crédit Agricole Group, which she joined more than seven years ago to support the international financial markets, asset management, and private banking divisions through their major transformations. Jadwiga has led transformative infrastructure overhaul programs and held key roles in service management, account management, and client relations within complex, multi-stakeholder, and highly regulated environments. She embodies committed leadership dedicated to technological transformation, where operational excellence is combined with a focus on people, vision, and impact. Recognized for my ability to bring people together, provide purpose, and help teams grow, I practice a demanding, inclusive, and impact-driven leadership style. . Her journey is also that of a woman who has learned to turn every obstacle into an opportunity: at age 15, in Poland, she was told that French was “impossible” to learn. Today, she speaks on major tech stages—proof that boldness, perseverance, and confidence can move far more than just borders.
