About
I connect strategy, production and people so that an ambitious idea becomes a safe, well-run and compelling event. For more than 15 years I have produced and managed major sporting, cultural and business events – from the first concept and feasibility study through budget, team and suppliers to onsite operations and the final debrief.
As Event Manager, I helped plan and deliver the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2026 in Prague. I am also behind the HRko conference and the Slavnosti Jihu festival, and I contributed to the production of Opava slaví FEST 800 and The Strings Show – ABBA Tribute. I add the most value where strategic thinking, decision-making under pressure and attention to detail need to come together.
Open to international event leadership roles, project mandates and rights-holder collaborations.

Events I know, events I organise

From concept and programming to a working festival site with multiple stages, dozens of suppliers and a well-drilled production team.

International championships from bid and hosting through venue operations and delegations to the spectator experience.

Events for employees, clients and partners with a clear programme, reliable production and one accountable coordinator.

Conferences with a clear format, strong content and the right atmosphere – from speakers to technology and smooth onsite delivery.
Lead case study
Role: Event Manager
How I work
I run every project in four connected phases. Clients, teams and partners always know what is being decided, who is accountable for what and what success looks like.
I address risks before they affect the outcome.
Clarifying objectives, audience, expected outcomes, event scope and feasibility conditions. For international sports projects, this also covers hosting strategy, bidding and rights-holder requirements.
Budget, timeline, responsibilities, decision-making processes, organisational structure, stakeholder alignment and project control milestones.
Team leadership, supplier coordination, programme, technical production, venue operations, logistics, visitor experience and real-time operational decision-making.
Final settlement, reporting, feedback, evaluation of results, knowledge transfer and the project's long-term legacy.
