About

With 10+ years' experience across 25+ countries, I enjoy working with dynamic and diverse business environments. My personal connection to CEE comes from my Czech grandfather, who escaped Communism after hijacking a train and settled in the US. I regularly visit CEE to stay connected with my roots along with leading innovators and industry leaders.I work with a network of partners in the US and abroad in government, academia, law, business, and investments for risk mitigation, compliance, and to properly architect opportunities.
