Roksana Ciurysek-Gedir is a board member, founder, and creative systems thinker working at the intersection of science, finance, art, and technology to advance impact-driven innovation and the future of wellbeing.
She is a Board Member of Therme Group, a global leader in wellbeing infrastructure shaping large-scale destinations that integrate health, prevention, culture, and nature into everyday life. Therme is redefining wellbeing as essential civic infrastructure, with projects announced across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, reaching millions of people each year.
She is the founder of Possible X, a platform through which she translates science, systems thinking, and creativity into human-centred outcomes with meaning and purpose. Possible X serves as her unifying lens across projects and partnerships — focused on building wellbeing not as privilege, but as infrastructure.
Roksana brings over two decades of leadership experience in global finance, having held senior roles at Credit Suisse, Edmond de Rothschild, Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. From 2018 to 2020, she served as Deputy CEO and Vice President of the Management Board of Bank Pekao, Poland’s largest bank, and was previously President of Pekao International.
Her artistic practice explores themes of resilience, imperfection, and stewardship. During COP26, she launched the Impact Art movement in collaboration with Singularity University, presenting Aurea — a sculpture created from recycled stainless steel — as a statement on regeneration, responsibility, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Her work reflects a core principle that guides her leadership: creativity is how science becomes human.
In film, Roksana is an executive producer of Nuclear Now, directed by Oliver Stone, examining the role of nuclear energy in the global energy transition. She also produced Battle for Britain, a short film honouring the contribution of Polish pilots during the Second World War, featuring Julian Glover.
An international speaker, she has lectured at Stanford University, the CFA Institute, the Milken Institute, and the World Economic Forum. In 2014, she was recognised as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. She is a YPO member, CFA Charterholder, holds an engineering degree and a master’s degree in management and economics, and is the mother of two sons.
