Two worlds, one passion.
Cars have fascinated me since childhood — and I was lucky enough to turn that passion into a profession. At Škoda Auto I am responsible for high-voltage batteries as Chief Battery Officer. Technology keeps me busy in the evenings too: in my free time I build applications for family, friends and colleagues.
Professional journey
Chief Battery Officer — Škoda Auto
Responsible for everything around high-voltage batteries — the heart of every electric car. From strategy and portfolio through development and launches to the industrial reality of production.
Head of Project Management — HV Batteries, Powertrain & Chassis eMobility, Škoda Auto
Leading project management for the key components of electromobility. Project launches, version coordination across platforms, managing risks and deadlines in an environment where mistakes are counted in millions.
Project Lead — HV Batteries, Powertrain & Chassis eMobility, Škoda Auto
Leading electrification projects at component level — batteries, powertrains and chassis for electric models.
Project Manager / Strategy — MEB Electric Platform, Škoda Auto
Five and a half years at the birth of the MEB electric platform — project management and platform strategy for the architecture underpinning electric Škodas.
Project Manager — Driver Assistance Systems & Infotainment, Škoda Auto
Project management for the development of driver assistance systems and infotainment.
Technical Project Management Trainee — Škoda Auto
Entry into automotive — the technical project management trainee programme.
App maker — a free-time hobby
In the evenings I design and build applications for family, friends and colleagues — from planners to a health assistant, on my own local AI stack. Local-first: the data stays at home.
Where I draw from
CTU in Prague — MSc
Management and Economics (2013–2015). The layer that lets me understand projects and the numbers behind them.
CTU in Prague — BSc
Theory of Mechanical Engineering (2009–2013). An engineering foundation that serves batteries and software architecture alike.
Lifelong self-learner
From project management in automotive to modern software development and local AI — the best school is building something that has to work.
What I do well
Project management
Launches of complex projects, portfolio management, lean management, risks, deadlines, executive reporting.
E-mobility
HV batteries, powertrains and chassis — the technical context of electromobility from hardware catalogue to in-vehicle deployment.
AI & development
Building applications (React, Node, SQLite), local LLM infrastructure, AI agents and orchestration — privacy-first.
Languages
Czech native, German and English at professional level, basic Russian.
Automotive & Digital Factory
Over ten years at the largest Czech carmaker — from the trainee programme to leading the battery domain.
Car enthusiast
Cars aren't just work — they're a passion. From combustion legends to the electric future.
When I'm not managing projects
Family, Prague and cars — in that order. And once the kids are asleep, my AI workshop wakes up on the Mac: night agents build a knowledge base and I build the next application.
