ABOUT

When I’m asked about my professional life, I say it all boils down to these key areas:

sales & innovation
operation & process excellence
foreign expansion & scaling up

From my studies at the University of Economics in Prague, through the beginnings in Asia, to my current position as VP of Offline Retail Sales at Oriente, I’ve had the chance to gain in-depth firsthand experience in these areas.

I believe the best way to build winning teams, grow businesses and innovate your product delivery methods is to learn from your past experience.

Over the years, I have literally hired more than 5,000 people and launched new products for thousands of customers while building businesses in India, Philippines, Indonesia and now Hong Kong. And I feel confident to say that my wide-ranging expertise has given me a solid foundation for dealing with today’s (and tomorrow’s) market challenges.

I currently live in Hong Kong with my wife and two children.
