Our Trailblazer: Cezary Kryszkiewicz

Our own Cezary Kryszkiewicz was honored as a 2026 Loyalty Trailblazer! Honestly? We couldn’t be prouder, and we’re definitely not surprised. If you’ve worked with Cezary, you’ve felt that contagious passion firsthand. Whether it’s implementing complex platforms like Azerbaijan Airlines in record time or pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, Cezary is the definition of a trailblazer. Congrats!

“Receiving this award is awesome because it shows that while computer chips and AI handle the logic, loyalty is a deep psychological trait wired into the human brain. At the end of the day, loyalty is for humans not for language models or robots. Huge thanks to the team for keeping it real and keeping it human!
Let’s keep showing the machines how it’s actually done 😉 "

About the International Loyalty Awards

The International Loyalty Awards are the gold standard for the industry, celebrating excellence, innovation, and best practices on a global scale. These awards recognize companies that turn customer transactions into meaningful, long-term relationships through creative strategy and cutting-edge technology. Retail, travel, B2B, financial services, and more categories, the awards cover the entire loyalty spectrum, highlighting the programs that are truly pushing the envelope in customer engagement.

The Legacy Continues: Our ILA Veterans

While the 2026 gala was a night of fresh triumphs, many of our clients have won prestigious awards in the past. We’ve had the honor of supporting them through multiple iterations of their programs, and seeing their names on the ILA winners' lists year after year is truly amazing.

This year marks Alshaya’s third consecutive winning year! They’ve been on a roll since 2024, when they were named Best Loyalty Programme of the Year (Food & Non-Food Retail), followed by the 2025 title for International Loyalty Program of the Year (Middle East).

Talk about consistency! Virgin Active is officially on a winning streak, taking home the trophy for Best Loyalty Initiative within Leisure, Experience & Entertainment for the second year in a row.

We’re already looking forward to seeing even more of our partners join this prestigious veterans list in the years to come!

What’s Next?

This was a phenomenal night for Comarch and our partners, but we’re not stopping here. These awards aren't just trophies for the cabinet; they are motivation to keep pushing, keep innovating, and keep raising the bar.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists—you’ve earned it! Let’s keep this momentum going as we head toward our next big gathering at the Comarch User Group (CUG26) in Kraków. See you there!
