Season 1, Episode 12,   Apr 30, 2021, 02:02 AM

“Can I see how you do it?” He asked. Then he became one of them.
Jarda Němec, a headhunter and a consultant for Egon Zehnder.
An ordinary boy from Litvínov; a hockey player, of course.
And a scientist. At least based on his PhD diploma.

He started his career as a manager at PwC. Being around 30 years old he was one of the oldest. 
Then he moved to work for O2. 

Then came a long journey at Microsoft. As a Finance Lead in CEE HQ he was responsible for more than 25 countries with over 1B$ revenue, coordinating activities among Microsoft subsidiaries and HQ in Redmond.

And, finally, he bid his faraway to Microsoft and joined Egon Zehnder and a totally different industry - headhunting.

 “You are not a typical CFO, you are only wasting your time,” they used to say. 

And they were right.
