7R Strengthens Leadership Team with Three Appointments to Drive Strategic Growth
7R, a well-established developer of modern warehouse and industrial real estate in Poland and Czechia, is pleased to announce the expansion of its leadership team with three strategic appointments. The move supports the company’s transition to a regional operating structure across three markets: North-West Poland and Central-South Poland and Czechia.
The transformation reflects 7R’s strategic response to dynamic market growth, evolving client distribution patterns, and the formation of natural market clusters across its portfolio.
Regional Leadership Structure Drives Market-Focused Growth
To optimize operations and client service delivery, 7R has established dedicated Regional Heads who will oversee all company operations in their respective markets, including business development, leasing, project preparation and management. Dariusz Proniewicz joins 7R and takes on a role as Head of Region for Central-South Poland and Filip Piekarski has been promoted to Head of North-Western Region. 7R’s operations in Czechia will be led by Jiri Duchon. This structure enables deeper local market expertise, faster decision-making, and more tailored solutions for clients in each region.
The Regional Heads will work in close coordination with Damian Kołata who has assumed the new strategic role of Head of Commercial across Poland and Czech Republic. Damian will be responsible for building and maintaining strategic relationships with 7R clients, ensuring leasing operations excellence, and standardizing commercial practices across markets. He will focus on portfolio-level opportunities and cross-regional synergies, enabling commercial strategy alignment with brand positioning.
Damian brings a wealth of experience from his previous role as an EMEA L&I Operating Board Member and Head of Industrial & Logistics / E-Commerce CEE at Cushman & Wakefield. With over 20 years in warehouse logistics and supply chain management, he previously led e-commerce operations and logistics development for major companies such as ThyssenKrupp, TZMO S.A. and FIEGE. Damian is also an academic lecturer, co-author of several logistics titles and co-founder of E-Commerce Logistics Experts Association.
The Head of Commercial will also implement consistent leasing processes, and ensure all commercial activities align with 7R’s long-term strategy
