Kristof Slupkowski, Chief Credit Officer Equity Bank and his Persistent Journey to American Opportunity
About this episode
Kristof Slupkowski shares his journey from Poland to the United States and his perspective on opportunity as the Chief Credit Officer of Equity Bank.
When you immigrate to the United States from a former communist country, your point of view about opportunity is different. Kristof's first visit to the US was to New York and he thought it was all like that. As a Top high school decathlete in Poland, he had the chance to come to the United States and he chose Wichita USA. As an outstanding athlete for the Wichita State Shockers, he soon wanted to apply his dedication and capabilities to the business world. Many of us in the US take for granted our opportunities. Chief Credit Officer of Equity Bank, Kristof Slupkowski shares in our conversation how difficult it is to legally immigrate so that you can take advantage of the wonderful opportunities in the land of the free. He is an outstanding disciplined human being, and I am grateful to share his story.
