Biography
Emilewicz was born in Kraków in 1974 to Antoni and Zdzisława Szylers.[1]
In 2002, together with Artur Wołek, she published "Reformers and Politicians: The Power Play for the 1998 Reform of Public Administration in Poland, as Seen by Its Main Players".[2]
On 27 November 2015, Emilewicz was appointed undersecretary of state in the Ministry of Development and held the function until 2018,[3] when she became the head of the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology in the government of Mateusz Morawiecki.[4] Emilewicz retained the office during its reorganization into Ministry of Development upon the following election in 2019 and thus entered Morawiecki's second cabinet. Meantime, in 2017, she was one of the founders of the Agreement, a party whose one of the Vice Leaders she shortly became.[5]
In 2020, Emilewicz was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, simultaneously maintaining her so-far ministerial office, following Jarosław Gowin stepping down as Deputy Prime Mister and her candidature being proposed by Gowin's Agreement party instead.[6]
