After the war, he studied economics and became a professional economist with Inco-Veritas S.A., a privately-owned Polish chemical products consortium founded in 1947.

On 25 August 1948, Piotrowski married Teodora "Tonia" Starostka. They had three children, Nina, Wanda and Aleksandra. Wanda died 17 days after being born. After 33 years of marriage, Tonia died on October 13, 1981, at the age of 56 from breast cancer.
