Prague, Prague, Czechia
With nearly 30 years of experience in heavy infrastructure, I specialize in the technical and strategic delivery of multi-billion-euro projects across Central and Eastern Europe. As a Chief Technical Officer, I bridge the gap between institutional investors (such as VINCI Concessions and Meridiam) and large-scale construction consortia, ensuring that complex Public-Private Partnership (PPP) assets are delivered on time, within budget, and optimized for their 25-year lifecycles. My expertise lies in navigating the "firsts"—leading the technical execution of the D4 Příbram – Strakonice/Pisek Motorway (the first linear infrastructure PPP in the Czech Republic) and the €1.1 Billion M11-Section7/8 Motorway in Russia. I am a strong advocate for digital transformation in civil engineering, utilizing BIM and "Digital Twin" strategies to de-risk investments and streamline Operation & Maintenance (O&M) phases. Key Expertise: • Strategic Governance: Leading technical departments through the full DBOM (Design-Build-Operate-Maintain) lifecycle. • PPP Specialist: Proficient in Concession Agreements, FIDIC contracts, and Grantor/Independent Engineer interface management. • Large-Scale Delivery: Oversight of 250+ km of motorway and 120+ structural units (bridges/viaducts). • Cross-Border Leadership: Proven track record in Germany, Poland, Russia, and the Czech Republic. I am passionate about driving the next generation of smart infrastructure. Let's connect to discuss the future of PPP and digital engineering.
