While I was managing Tenneco in Hodkovice I had the pleasure to have Karel in my engineering Team. Karel is a self motivated, hard-worker who invariably understands what is involved in tough launches and project management. He knows how to get the work done quickly and effectively as well as meeting major project milestones. I had many opportunities to observe his great talent, capacity and enthusiasm in identifying problems and generating solutions and ideas. Karel proved to be an excellent engineer with a willingness to work hard. His great team- work sprit and sincerity made him be respected by all his colleagues. He has a great devotion for his duties and he is an solution-oriented and innovative person who's performance is quite remarkable. Finally said, it was a pleasure to work with Karel and he is effectively a very valuable asset to any company.

I have met Karel during my project in one automotive company. During this time Karel was in position as Project Manager responsible for implementation of crucial and challenging program. He was leading of international team of technicians, quality engineers and specialists. During most difficult project time he was calm and kept the postive vision in team. He was able to take the right decision and move team and project forward. His manager style is fair approach to individual person, but strict regarding achievment of project tasks and goals. He is team player with natural authority and excelent leadership of the team. Thanks his technical, managers and language skils was project sucesfully implementted. In case of you are looking for Project or Program Manager Karel is the one the best right candidate.
