How did he get to this job? And what surprised him most about the U.S.—both in business and in everyday life? 👀

💙 In the interview, he answers not only these questions. He also explains why he believes it makes sense for Czech companies to head to the United States, and how leading the SU PEF student union and his involvement in the Academic Senate helped him in negotiations with American business professionals. 👨‍💼👔
