EL Passion

23/09/2025

EL Passion has been acquired by Monterail, one of Poland's leading software development companies, recognized for delivering 390+ projects to clients like Bosch, Merck, and Pizza Hut.

Founded in 2010, Monterail brings together over 130 experts who design and develop innovative software for the fintech, proptech, wellness, and e-commerce industries. They’ve also been at the forefront of integrating AI into software development processes—a focus that perfectly aligns with EL Passion’s vision and expertise.

Why now? The IT industry has shifted dramatically in recent years. Instead of standing still, both Monterail and EL Passion saw an opportunity to consolidate and scale.

As Anna Elwart, CEO of EL Passion, says:

“Specialization and consolidation are today the two most reliable development scenarios for software development companies. Wisely built scale means not only better cost distribution, but also room for maneuver for practical AI implementation.”

EL Passion brings deep expertise in AI development, product design, and UX/UI, strengthening Monterail’s ability to create smarter, more impactful technology solutions across industries.

We’re excited to share that Marta Kuśnierz is now our COO at EL Passion! 🚀

About a month ago, Marta took the reins from her much-loved Delivery team (now in the amazing hands of Klaudia Cembor) and joined the leadership team alongside Anna Elwart and Ula Kowalska to help steer the company at the operational level.

From solving problems with contagious energy to keeping our teams running smoothly, Marta’s impact is already being felt — and we’re lucky to have her leading the way.

We can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us. 💪
