We get a chance to catch up with Ewelina Leszczynska who recently joined our CoSec department. Ewelina comes from Poland and was attracted to Crowe because of the range of clients we deal with and the strength of her manager. Not a real TV fan, she prefers extreme sports instead – motorbiking, kayaking and parachute jumping!
