Life
Grégoire Nitot grew up living on a boat on the Seine in Paris. Initially, he wanted to become a professional soccer player.[4] At the age of about 18, he decided to tie his future to business. To realize this plan, he completed a master's degree at the Rennes School of Business. In 2000, he came to Poland, where he studied for a year at the Warsaw School of Economics under the Erasmus student exchange program.[5] After completing his studies, he returned to France. He has lived in Poland since 2006 and received Polish citizenship in 2016.
Career
After working as a Sales Manager in the IT industry in Paris for several years, in 2006 he decided to move to Poland and set up Sii Poland. With €30 000 in savings, he began looking for an investor. After successful negotiations with Sii France, with a capital of €100 000, he launched an individual entrepreneurship in an apartment in downtown Warsaw. By 2022, Sii Poland has transformed into an organization generating annual revenues of PLN 1.91 billion net,[6] with PLN 260 million in profits, employing 8 000 specialists in 15 branches across the country.

Controversies
Opponents of Nitot's buying of Polonia Warszawa organized a campaign of threats and slander against him and Sii Poland in 2020.[7] In response, Sii Poland has launched a widely reported campaign titled "Haterade is not OK."[8] Furthermore, Nitot has been accused of unlawfully firing an employee for creating a workers' union in Sii Poland and afterwards wrote a mail to the victim with an explanation, in which the victim is accused of "supporting extremism, working there for just 6 months not knowing the company all too well and yet being detrimental to its further work". Addressing the claims of Krystian being fired were true, but the actual reason would be his and the workers' union's "hatred and hurtful action against Sii Poland", of which an example Nitot presented a part of a speech about obeying work laws in Poland and France[9][10][11]
Personal life
He married a Polish woman, Irena, with whom he has four children, Szymon, Juliette, Chloe, and a foster daughter, Kamila.Шаблон:Citation needed
