Managing DirectorAI Builder

Managing Director of Ringier Slovakia, the country's #1 media owner. Leading trusted digital media, scaling communities, and driving responsible AI across our products and operations.

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

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