Why I love Kentico
What truly sets Kentico apart are our company values. We treat people as people, we are transparent, and there are no political games. We truly do cooperate and help each other out and together we constantly try to improve every aspect of our work. Petr Palas could easily have said: "Stop—no more experiments, let's make do with what we have and sell it." But that's not the way Kentico works. We are always trying out new things, new approaches, new innovations. We don't settle for merely what’s standard. It’s impossible to get bored working at Kentico because we are never afraid to change things up.
My job at Kentico
I'm responsible for the overall results of and strategy for our company. I lead our team towards a vision I'm extremely passionate about and encourage our employees to always strive to meet the needs of our customers and partners. If that means that we have to make an exception to our rules or go the extra mile to accomplish that aim, then so be it.
I'm so proud of the people I work with. Within a single year, we have started to build a completely new product based on our new long-term strategy, grown our ARR, and exceeded our sales targets. We are creating a product that I believe has an incredibly bright future ahead.
My journey
I started working for Kentico as a part-time tester in 2007 before switching to various technical and product job positions. In 2015, I decided to accept a new challenge working for SnapShot and later for Broadcom. But all that time, Kentico remained close to my heart. When Antonín Moravec and Petr Palas asked me in 2020 whether I would like to come back to Kentico as the VP of Product, I was thrilled and jumped at the opportunity. Since then, I have built an ambitious product team, hired a successor, and accepted my biggest challenge so far—becoming CEO.
