After going to Philips Academy, Piotr started his undergraduate studies at Wesleyan University and then transferred to Harvard University, where he graduated magna cum laude in Social Studies.

After the 2010 British election, he helped setup the Big Society Network, a charity that seeks to promote political reform and civic engagement, and founded the Digital Government Unit at Policy Exchange, a technology policy research group. He also worked on the Alternative Vote national referendum campaign. Piotr then returned to the U.S. to pursue a JD degree at Yale Law School and is exploring options for a joint MBA degree.
