I also like our company’s culture, international environment and values.
How has your career path looked until this point?
Vodička: I spent nearly 16 years in the multinational broking company as the Trade Credit specialities leader for the Czech Republic and I was also involved in trade credit opportunities in Slovakia.

What do you like about the insurance and risk management industry, and what keeps you motivated?

The ability to speak our client’s language define the client’s risks and find the right tailor made solutions is always a big motivation for me. A satisfied client and the end can bring us also new relationships and opportunities.
Could you tell us a bit more about yourself outside of work? How do you like to spend your free time?
