In 2011, after 8 years as managing director of SUMITOMO ČR, I joined the ŠKODA AUTO team. Here, in my role as head of product management, I was successively responsible for various activities for ŠKODA AUTO in different locations (Malaysia, Russia, India). In 2013, I moved to China (Beijing) where I managed product management activities for Volkswagen and eventually relocated to SEAT in Spain in 2015 with responsibility for product planning and strategy. In early 2019, I received the opportunity to take on the role of Business Development Manager in After Sales with responsibility for digital products and services, human touch, customer satisfaction and loyalty, including coverage of eMobility topics such as wallbox and powerpass. In 2021, I was offered the position of Managing Director of ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab with the aim of integrating digital products and services and thus expanding the portfolio with a direct impact on the B2C end customer.

During my more than 20 past years, I have gained extensive experience in the Automotive sector. Other than the purchasing and quality fields, I have worked most of my career in finance. In this area, I have discovered not only the nuances of financial management of large corporate units, but also the financial management of subsidiaries and foreign companies, even the financing of future projects - all in the field of automotive production and digitization. In recent years, I have also been involved in the management of a non-profit company, and independent business, in the field of art production. I believe that the digital world will surround and influence us more in the coming years, which is why it is paramount that such important companies as ŠKODA AUTO keep pace with the rapid development in this field. The mission of ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab is to be an effective accelerator that enriches the parent company's standard business with the latest knowledge from the progressive development of the digital world and mobility services.

During my 20+ year career in the telecommunication and data center industry, I have been pivotal in a variety of successful projects in sales, business development and project management. At ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab I am leveraging my working experience to make sure that our ideas turn into viable products and services and projects become a reality in the new era of mobility.

During last 5 years I worked as a Project Manager and Business Analyst for startups focusing mostly on B2B and B2C online services for travelers. Prior to that I worked for leading e-commerce platform as Sr. Business Analyst responsible for its platform development in France. I have also been leading a team of business analysts delivering internet distribution platform for public transport tickets in Prague. I have no doubt that the application of digital technologies in the automotive industry is the disruptive trend that will transform the whole industry. At the ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab I am identifying opportunities and managing implementation of the new services that will generate additional value for ŠKODA’s customers.

I have more then 15 years of experience in marketing and digital technologies. I gathered all experiences in media, digital agencies and also in my privat business. Now Im getting an opportunity to bring this experience and knowledge into SKODA AUTO DigiLab, where my favourite modern technologies and automotive meets together.My goal is to lead a marketing team with responsibility for ATL, BTL, digital campaings and events. And not only for SKODA AUTO DigiLab, also for all projects in mobility as a service, emobility and smart citites segments.

As the HR Manager at ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab (apart from HR processes and everything that the managerial role requires), I oversee the most valuable and important asset, and that is our people. I have worked in the field of human resources for 16 years, and therefore I know that working with human potential, its proper use, and its development, is one of the main pillars that builds a successful and healthy company. That's why I'm very happy that right here in DigiLab I'm surrounded by a great, very talented and motivated team.

When I was a little child, I had always wondered how things work, I tried to figure out every little thing and I enjoyed proposing new solutions. This stayed the same even when I was an adult, and over time, the little things became big projects. Over the past few years, I have worked as a designer and systems analyst in top telecommunications companies in Europe. I started working in product development area and I took part in several successful projects, which I was able to transform from a thought on a paper to a real operation. I have always tried to come up with an innovative solution, and this has brought me to ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab, where innovation meets reality.

My job at ŠKODA AUTO DigLab is to ensure that our projects stand on solid legal foundations. In particular, I deal with IP/IT law, compliance, processing and protection of personal data and contract law. I like logical and effective solutions and I always try to make my advice and suggestions understandable and, above all, beneficial. I am a team player who is open to everything new and that is the reason, why I am glad to be a part of ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab, where there is no shortage of innovative approaches.

I have been working most of my 15-year long career in various software development and technology companies. There I gained a lot of experience with software development and project management, complex integrations of various HW and SW technologies from security systems through industrial automation to intelligent transportation systems and IoT. I am a big technology enthusiast and in ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab I focus on implementation of the new technologies into the Smart City projects and mobility services.

Through 19 years of „online experience“ in the private sector, digital creative, and media agencies, I discovered that digital innovation and technology is my passion. I am looking for, and creating, new opportunities in emerging customer-centered mobility technologies and trends, preparing digital strategies, creative concepts, and project development. The world of interconnected sensors making our lives easier, with impact on privacy rights, is intriguing my spirit and I keep track of the latest developments and trends in this area. The ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab is for me the place where all the mentioned come together to ignite radical innovativeness.

With over 10 years of managerial experience running teams for many large multi-national clients including Microsoft, Ford, Nestle, Colgate, and GSK for the World class marketing company Wunderman I have joined ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab with a new mission. I have taken over operations of HoppyGo, a company that’s already a top player in the CZ market. My goal is to bring HoppyGo from a Czech startup to a major European player in the P2P Carsharing space

I came to ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab from the technical development department in ŠKODA AUTO, concretely from the project Connected Car. Before that I worked for several years in small german digital agency and big french corporation in airline industry. I have been always interested in new technologies and innovations and liked meaningful work that has impact. That’s why I was attracted to work in ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab and am really happy to be part of our amazing international team. In ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab I am responsible for AI and eMobility project management.

Cars have been my passion from a very early age and my career also started in car racing. Since then, I gained experience in various different industries, including banking, real estate development and gastronomy. I found that what truly fulfils me is building new businesses and projects, that have a significant impact and that is why ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab is the perfect place for me, as it combines both. In the last 5 years, my career was focused on mobility projects. I built and lead HoppyGo P2P carsharing, and now, I am in charge of BeRider shared electric scooters.

For the last few years, I have been developing my skills and knowledge in the field of online marketing, specifically "performance marketing", as well as analytical tools (for websites, applications). In the past, I have worked on several major internet projects with overlap to neighboring countries where I led and developed a team of online marketing specialists. At ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab, I would like to help individual projects to take full advantage of their potential and move them further in online marketing and analytics.

Over the past 10 years I’ve worked on various marketing positions in technology startups, IT companies and marketing agencies. Throughout this time I was focusing mostly on performance campaigns, lead generation and content creation. But my life’s biggest passion have always been cars, so when the opportunity came to join ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab and combine my experience from tech startups with my passion for everything automotive, I didn't hesitate for a second. Right now I’m part of the marketing team and working closely with project teams on launching new mobility services while promoting other DigiLab’s activities as well.

Joining ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab team as intern during my studies gave me opportunity to see how new mobility projects are built. Now as employee I can contribute with my knowledge from shared economy, micromobility or electromobility. In my position I can be on top of new trends in field of technologies and innovation. These insights we leverage to build new projects or improve existing ones.

I have designed and published my first website more than 18 years ago and since then,  designing for web has become my biggest passion and area of interest. During my 12 years of proffesional experience I have designed websites and web/mobile applications for several large czech and international clients. Working for ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab is a great opportunity to combine the online with the offline world in a startup-like environment.

During my geoinformatics studies on a university, besides processing and analyzing the data, I was also involved in their visualization and became more interested in programming web and especially map applications. Later, I co-operated with several international teams on projects that were at different stages of development, thus I gained insight into a number of other technologies. During my work, I am always trying to find the best approaches to speed up the entire development process. Working in Digilab is for me an everyday challenge and the opportunity to participate in the development of progressive projects. In Digilab, I am dedicated to the development of web and hybrid mobile applications, and sometimes I help in the area of geodata processing.

My journey in website and software development started on high school. During this time I participated on different projects ranging from common presentation sites to eshops and cloud SaaS applications. I like to look for an effective solution to complex problems using state-of-the-art technologies. That’s why I joined ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab, where I can use my experience in projects with global reach.
