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 spans Fortune-listed organizations where I founded and scaled a sustainability practice, and I've contributed to shaping policy at the highest levels of corporate governance. I bring boardroom insight into academic teaching, ensuring students engage with real-world scenarios, not theoretical abstractions.

Based across Paris and Warsaw, with extended experience in Dubai and Los Angeles, I work with organizations navigating the AI revolution, ESG frameworks (CSRD, GRI, TCFD, ISSB), and the evolving regulatory landscape including the EU AI Act.

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.
