My story.

I started in marketing agencies, where I developed a background in PR and social media. I then founded Bistro Social, built it into a 25-person leading agency and sold it to Dentsu International.

From there, I went on to lead Aleph’s local team in the Czech Republic. Along the way, I built professional relationships and negotiated deals with European representatives of Meta, TikTok, Spotify, Snap and other media platforms.

My next chapter involved business consulting for Banana Sport app and exploring investing and trading opportunities. What I enjoy most is connecting different worlds and bringing different business skills together.

Sport keeps me in shape; combat sports have also taught me persistence and resilience when business gets difficult. Away from work, I make time for family and exploring new technologies.

Values.

Reliability

What we agree
is what I deliver.

For several consecutive years, I delivered every promised result without a single lapse.

Enjoying work.

People do better work when they feel respected and enjoy being part of the team.

Fairness & transparency.

Clear expectations, honest feedback and openness about progress and problems.

Team chemistry.

A team is more than individuals. Trust and the right chemistry make it work.
