About

I bring strategy, production and people together.

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.

How I work

Senior leadership of event projects, within a clear structure.

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.
I think two steps ahead – across budget, timeline, safety and onsite operations.
  1. 01

    Strategy & Feasibility

    Clarifying objectives, audience, expected outcomes, event scope and feasibility conditions. For international sports projects, this also covers hosting strategy, bidding and rights-holder requirements.

  2. 02

    Planning & Governance

    Budget, timeline, responsibilities, decision-making processes, organisational structure, stakeholder alignment and project control milestones.

  3. 03

    Production & Delivery

    Team leadership, supplier coordination, programme, technical production, venue operations, logistics, visitor experience and real-time operational decision-making.

  4. 04

    Evaluation & Legacy

    Final settlement, reporting, feedback, evaluation of results, knowledge transfer and the project's long-term legacy.
