Managing Director, Ringier SlovakiaAI Builder
Managing Director of Ringier Slovakia, the country's #1 media owner. 2.5 million users, 267 million page views, 150 people shipping every day. I build with AI to understand where it helps. Then I bring that into how we run a media company.
About
I lead Slovakia's largest media company. I build with AI on my own time, not because it's my job, but because I want to know what it can actually do. That understanding shapes how we adopt AI at Ringier. Some of it worked. Some of it didn't. I write about both.
