    Meet the new CEO of Displate

    27 października 2021

    We are pleased to announce that there have been some changes at Displate! 💪 Mateusz Godala, the former CMO, is the new CEO of Displate. He stepped in for Karol Banaszkiewicz, co-founder of the company, who joined the board.

    8 years after the foundation of Displate, Mateusz Godala takes over as the CEO. Before this change, he was the company’s CMO, and prior to joining Displate, he worked in a Polish startup Tylko as Head of Performance. Within 3 years he increased the company’s revenue from 0 to 1 million dollars per month. Mateusz was also managing a team of SEM specialists at iProspect agency, and as a consultant, he was helping to develop and optimize performance marketing in startups like DocPlanner or UxPin.
    Karol Banaszkiewicz, the outgoing CEO of Displate and its co-founder, will join the company’s board. Its chairman since September 2021 is John Pleasants who in the past worked in executive positions in giants like Disney, Electronic Arts, or Ticketmaster.
    This is the first such change since Displate was founded in 2013, when Karol Banaszkiewicz, Edward Ruszczyc and Jacek Świgost launched a platform offering artists’ designs printed on metal posters. Today more than 40,000 artists offer their prints via Displate. The company also works with 55 brands popular among collectors. These include Star Wars, Marvel, DC Comics, Arsenal F.C. or NASA, as well as game developers like as Blizzard, CD Projekt RED or Rovio. As a result, we offer official posters of brands that all fans of movies, comics, and games love so much.

    – In 8 years we have managed to build a well-oiled machine that has produced over 5 million metal posters, of which 3 million were made just in the last year, which we have delivered to customers in over 64 countries around the world. We employ around 500 people and have gone from a struggling startup to a tech company aiming for unicorn status. Mateusz played an important role in this process, as during his 2 years at Displate he helped us increase the revenue fivefold. I believe that under his leadership Displate will become not only a global leader on the poster market but also the number one platform for collectors from all over the world.

    – says Karol Banaszkiewicz, co-founder of Displate.

    All metal posters are made to order near Warsaw and shipped to customers from all over the world – orders from outside Poland account for over 99% of all purchases. The biggest markets for Displate today are the USA, Germany, France, UK, Canada and Australia. In October 2021 we also reached the 5 million posters sold mark.

    – I am so deeply thankful for the trust Karol, Edward, Jacek and Displate investors placed in me. There is a lot of work ahead of us. We want to develop Displate as a space for collectors and people with passions. A space where they will come and find something new every day. We have ambitious plans for the development of the product, both in terms of technology and the physical product. We also want to launch a marketplace for NFT next year. 

    – says Mateusz Godala, CEO of Displate.

    “Our plan is to develop an offer that will appeal to our existing customers and attract others who have previously bought other products. We will not do this alone, we are looking for people who want to develop new technologies and new offerings with us, as well as support our marketing and sales. We plan 100-150 new hires over the next year. If you want to develop the number one platform for collectors with us, join us!”
