I was born in the Czech Republic, a beautiful small country in the heart of Europe. I got my first HR Director role at the relatively early age of 27. Since then, I have held several executive roles in the area of Human Resources, namely in the Information and Communication Technology industry, in Europe and Asia.

In 2022, I was appointed as Adjunct Professor at Taylor’s University in Malaysia, which has been ranked the No. 1 private university in Southeast Asia for three consecutive years, and among the top 1% of the most influential universities globally.
