Viac o mne
Project and Program Manager with experience delivering in enterprise and international environments, working across product, sales, and technical teams in areas that included software development and cybersecurity. Much of my work has involved understanding customer and stakeholder needs, and making sure that information reaches the right people in a way teams can act on, whether for product development, sales decisions, or delivery. Over time I realized that I am particularly good at building strong working relationships with customers, colleagues, and partners across different roles and environments. That has consistently helped me coordinate effectively, resolve issues, and keep projects moving even when plans changed. Beyond project and program work, I have supported product operations and business development efforts, particularly where customer needs, technical constraints, and business priorities had to be balanced. Currently open to Project & Program Manager and Product roles in Bratislava, with flexibility for hybrid arrangements in Vienna and Brno.
