Magdalena Gawęda

Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of TheLayer.co. Magdalena holds the publication to its editorial standards: every scored review opened by a real human reviewer, every claim documented with test evidence, every commercial relationship disclosed at the top of the article. She rejects black-hat acquisition tactics, fabricated aggregate ratings, and undisclosed affiliations outright — even where doing so means slower growth or less traffic. Her line on the publication: "We would rather have fewer visitors than artificial ones. We would rather rank slower and tell the truth than rank faster and lie about a file we never opened."
