Managing Director of Ringier Slovakia, the country's #1 media owner. Building with AI after the day job.

About

I lead Slovakia's largest media company and build with AI after hours. I believe the future of media is journalist-led—AI will be the newsroom's strongest accelerator, while humans own verification, judgment, and trust.

What I Lead

Ringier Slovakia

The country's leading digital media group. Part of Swiss-based Ringier AG.

Azet.sk drives 93 million page views a month — email, portal, and the ecosystem where Pokec and Koktejl live. Add Diva.sk, Zive.sk, Najmama.sk, and the total is 2.5 million real users and 267 million page views. 150+ people shipping every day.
