10 years in consulting, still with a smile. Here's what a decade in this game actually taught me 👇 The winning consulting formula. Three things make a project worth doing: an interesting topic, career impact, and a great team. You rarely get all three. Sometimes you get two. But if I had to pick just one - ALWAYS PICK THE TEAM. Everything else is negotiable. The right people turn grinding work into the best years of your career. The wrong ones turn a dream project into a slog you'll want to forget. Your leader is the single biggest variable in your career. Not your title. Not your client. Not the brand on your CV. Pick leaders who push you hard AND clear the path for you to grow. Anyone who holds you back - leave. Fast. I've lived through every major consulting shift of the last decade: public sector to private, the rise of digital, Covid and hybrid work, and now AI. Every single one demanded the same thing - adapt or get left behind. And across all of them, one theme beats everything else: SPEED. That's exactly why Addvery works. Healthcheck, deep dive, POC - whatever the label, we deliver in weeks, not quarters. While others are still scoping, we're shipping results. After 10 years in this craft, I've just been appointed Chief Delivery Officer at ADDVERY - to lead the way in delivering results even faster. 🚀 And none of it happened alone. Along the way, there have been people who shaped me, pushed me, and brought the best out of me. James L. - for believing in me first, before anyone else did in my role at Concentrix. Michal Sutto, Henrich Bulla, Michal Rzavsky, Patrik Juhász - for the good old times. 🍸 Michal Kopanic - for letting me explore global opportunities at Deloitte Digital. Mikhail Kulikov - for that one weird team that refused to do things the normal way. Even at McKinsey & Company. It worked. Gabriela Heger and Věra Šyman - the long evenings weren't so bad with you around. Lukáš Marek, Pavel Novak and especially Stepan Hyks - a real thank you for trusting me to lead consulting at #Addvery. Filip Klazar - without you on the side, I wouldn't get there. And last but not least - to Simona Cerovska. For letting me chase whatever's next. For moving to Prague with me for this role. For absorbing the pressure I bring home from work and somehow still making it look easy every day. For pushing me to disconnect, and turning quality time together into the best part of every week. None of this would happen without you. 💜
