AI strategy at enterprise scale

I lead AI strategy and innovation at eD Invest Group — one of Central Europe's leading IT distribution conglomerates with consolidated revenues near $900M, operating across Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland.

My focus is turning AI from a buzzword into measurable business outcomes: identifying high-value use cases, building internal capability, and integrating AI tooling across sales, logistics, and customer-facing operations for a network of 5 000+ B2B resellers.

I hold a doctorate in Computer Science from Charles University Prague, alongside Master degrees in strategic management and European business law — a combination that shapes how I think about technology: always through a business and legal lens.
