Lech Walesa, no longer Polish president, remains more popular outside of Poland than in his mother country. The famous leader of the anti-communist Solidarity movement joined the Board of Directors of NuTech Solutions, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C.

As the pioneer of democratic regime in Eastern Europe, Mr. Walesa had a key impact on successful political and economic transformations in Poland and in the world, said Matthew Michalewicz, NuTech co-founder, president and chief executive.

Walesa will sit on the board with Hugh McColl Jr., former Chairman and CEO of Bank of America.

Among the 135 NuTech employees, most were born in Poland. As many as 25 of them hold doctoral degrees.

The founders of NuTech Solutions are Dan Cullen, Matthew Michalewicz and his father Zbigniew Michalewicz (both born in Poland).The latter was the chairman of the computer science department at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.

Established in 1999, NuTech Solutions is an American software company. In addition to more than 25 Fortune 500 clients, the company also counts the U.S. Department of Defense and Polish National Air Force among its customers. Other clients include BMW, Bank of America and the Department of Transportation of Rotterdam, Netherlands.
