Stefan Wisniowski

Stefan founded the Kresy-Siberia Group in 2001 as an internet discussion group, concerned with research, remembrance, and recognition of the Polish Citizens of all faiths and ethnicities that were persecuted by the Soviet Union during the Second World War. He also established the Kresy-Siberia Foundation, headquartered in Warsaw, in 2008 and still serves as its Foundation President. He officially opened the Kresy-Siberia Virtual Museum in the Senate of the Republic of Poland on 17 September 2009. In recognition of his service, Stefan was decorated with the Eastern Borderlands Heritage Medal (“Dziedzictwo Kresów Wschodnich”) and received Poland’s Gold Cross Service Medal (“Złoty Krzyż Zasługi”) from the President of Poland.

Stefan started his career as a professional architect, has worked as a strategic management consultant, as a corporate executive, and as a director of corporate and non-profit boards, where he currently serves as a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
