Hello!
Since I was a kid, I’ve had a fire for finance and business.
Raised in a family of financiers, this world has always been part of my DNA. 🔥
I always wanted to learn more.
I graduated top of my class in Economics and Finance from Charles University in Prague. 🎓
Then I took things to the next level with a Master's in Finance from the prestigious London School of Economics, also graduating with distinction. 🏆
I started my journey at a boutique VC firm in London, where I dived deep into the world of venture capital and business.
From there, I moved to Deloitte’s Valuation & Financial Modelling Division in Prague, where I worked on high-profile company valuations and financial models.
Then came Goldman Sachs.
As an investment professional in their Asset & Wealth Management Division with over USD 2 trillion AUM, I helped manage multi-billion-dollar portfolios. 💸
I had my hands in everything: stocks, bonds, options, structured products, ETFs, mutual funds, venture capital funds, hedge funds, you name it.
It was intense, fast-paced, and nothing short of life-changing. 🌍
Next, I landed at AGROFERT Group, one of Central Europe’s biggest conglomerates, with over $10 billion in sales.
As an investment manager, my position was just below the board of directors, whom I directly advised on investments, strategy, and business development.
My role spanned international M&A and global corporate strategy, giving me a front-row seat to world-class decision-making. 🌐
All these experiences:
Driving global transactions, advising top execs, and shaping major business strategies,
Have given me unique, deep insights into the world of business. 💡
Therefore, I decided to establish my own business some time ago: Wild Capital.
Just to sum it up, here’s a glimpse of my journey:
🔢 Graduated with distinction from LSE with an MSc in Finance (yes, that person who loves numbers).
💼 Had a whirlwind career at Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, and AGROFERT (coffee-, Excel-, and negotiation-heavy).
📊 Closed over €5 billion in public and private deals (that’s a lot of zeros).
✈️ Ran 100+ projects across 15+ industries and 20+ countries (I’ve got more stamps than a postal office).
🙏 Helped shape the strategies of 250+ companies worldwide (somehow still humble, I swear).
Now, I’m bringing all this knowledge and experience into Wild Capital Academy.
I’m about to launch a game-changing program focused on business scaling.
The goal is for you to learn proven clear strategies:
How to scale your business revenue and cash flows by 10x over time
Without wasting time, money, or energy on guesswork.
This won’t be just another community or course that you leave on 11% completion while you scratch your head on “what to do next.” 🙄
This will be a transformative experience, covering business strategy, sales and marketing, corporate finance, leadership, HR, operations, and much more.
And certainly for a fraction of the cost of what Nancy Pelosi invested in her call options last week. 💰
Over 800 visionary leaders are already on the waitlist.
