I am digital enthusiast and a corporate employee based in the Czech Republic. I love everything that has to do with modern technologies, management, and digital transformation.

However, my biggest asset is my devotion for working with people (both colleagues and clients) and bringing them innovation. I can be really outstanding in roles combining people and marketing skills with technical knowledge - such as product manager or consulting. I have 9 years of experience working with corporations such as Microsoft and IBM in marketing, technical consulting, and internal operations. I also have abundant experience in project management. I enjoy working and cooperating with colleagues, and even more if they share the same passions as I do.
