Wojtek joined Componental during the critical final week of our Kickstarter campaign for our music hardware product, Dubby. Our campaign’s success was a team effort, but it’s undeniable Wojtek, played a pivotal role in its outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Wojtek to anyone seeking a passionate, strategic, and results-driven PM – especially when launching audio products.
