Biography

A child of university professors Robert A. Schwartz and Camila Krysicka, Janniger coauthored six academic papers along with his father.[4] He initially wanted to become a physician, but later decided to engage in politics.[3]

Prior to nomination, Janniger worked with Antoni Macierewicz for around three years, including as his as legislative assistant and Deputy Chief of Staff.[5][6][7] During the 2015 Polish parliamentary election, Janniger served as the Deputy Campaign Manager for Law and Justice in the 10th Electoral District.[8][9]

On 24 November 2015, Janniger was appointed as Advisor to the Minister of National Defence, Antoni Macierewicz.[10][11] His responsibilities included managing the Minister's online presence. The appointment of the 20-year-old to the post met with support of the media sympathetic to the newly elected government and with criticism from the opposition.[12] His controversial designation became a subject of Polish internet memes.[13][14][15]

He held the post for two weeks, until 8 December 2015, when he returned to the US.[16] Janniger then founded a New York City-based membership organization and think tank, Institute of Global Affairs.[17][18]
