    president
    Malecka Capital Formations Inc.


    Alicja Malecka Alicja is a globally recognized financial, risk management and investment structuring expert with extensive operational experience in Central Europe. Upon retiring as president of the international financial services division of The Pioneer Group, Inc., in Boston, she established Malecka Capital Formations, Inc in 2001, to provide strategic advisory, transactional and project development services in the financial services sector in transition economies.

    Within the new business, framework, Alicja has developed with her associates the business concept to establish a mortgage securitisation conduit in Poland and initiated and sponsored the design of the necessary legislative framework, for the currently pending enactment, while as working with banks to establish their qualifications for securitization transactions.

    In parallel she has been acting as senior advisor on different advisory projects encompassing mortgage securitization in the Philippines, NPL restructuring in Slovakia, capital market assessment in Armenia, pension fund reform in Macedonia, and proposal development for financing the Romanian mortgage markets, under subcontract to PWC and DTT.

    MCF's direct assignments further included strategic assessment and restructuring of mutual and pension funds companies in Poland on behalf of their shareholders, drawing on her prior experience.

    In 1992 Alicja established the Polish operations of the Boston mutual fund company, PGI, launching the first mutual fund in post-communist Central Europe. She built Pioneer Poland into the premier mutual fund business in the region, reaching profitability in the first full year of operation on 1 billion dollars of locally originated assets. She initiated a similar development in the Czech Republic and reorganized Pioneer's asset management operations in Russia after the 1998 financial crisis, the year in which she had also overseen the launch of a universal pension fund under Poland's Pension Fund Reform Act. She subsequently arranged to triple the pension fund company's value by acquiring a large US insurance company as a strategic partner.

    Earlier, in 1991 she served as a U.S. Department of Treasury advisor to the Polish minister of finance to design and successfully launch its first two Treasury bond programs.

    Prior to this, Alicja established and managed Deutsche Bank Capital Corp's swaps and derivatives division in Tokyo in 1987, following a 10-year career with Chemical Bank, where she was responsible managing the swaps origination and execution in Asia, and establishing corporate foreign exchange management services in the U.S. and the Far East.

    Alicja holds an MBA in International Finance from DePaul University, in Chicago, a Master's degree in Economics from State University of New York at Stony Brook and is a graduate of the Warsaw School of Economics' foreign trade department. She speaks Polish, French, Russian and some Japanese and is an active member of several international finance and business associations.
