Maciej Ujejski

Maciej is an educator and facilitator with a social entrepreneurial background. His main areas of expertise are adaptive leadership, leadership development, leading systemic social change, experiential learning, and community building.

At Harvard University, Maciej broadened his knowledge of designing experiential educational programs for adults and initiatives aimed at advancing the issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic and professional settings. He served as a teaching assistant and course coach for Exercising Leadership: The Politics of Change. The course provides students with a diagnostic and strategic foundation for leadership practice and has the highest demand from students among all courses at Harvard Kennedy School.

In addition to his academic interests, Maciej co-created numerous successful social enterprises. He is a co-founder of Leadership Academy for Poland, one of Europe’s most prominent leadership development programs. He also co-founded Smogathon, an international contest for startups developing and using new and innovative technologies to fight air pollution. Maciej’s most recent collaborative endeavor is Philanthropy for Impact—a program that focuses on improving philanthropists’ leadership skills and on giving them the practical tools to support systemic changes in these uncertain times and in our increasingly complex world.

Maciej graduated from Harvard Graduate School of Education with an Ed.M. degree in Human Development and Education. In addition, he holds a degree in Law from Jagiellonian University. In 2014 Maciej was selected to the International Leadership Visitor Program, the U.S. Department of State’s premier exchange program focused on advancing youth engagement and leadership, and in 2020 he received a Fulbright Graduate Student Award.
