Bio
In Inovo since 2022, previously tried various paths - got 4 diplomas in 3 countries, led CEE-wide NGO, worked in language schools in London/Malta, as a lawyer in Germany, consultant in CVC, CEO/COO in own startups. Lately, I try to use this varied experience to support most ambitious CEE founders in turning their dreams into reality 🙂.
@Inovo I'm mainly:
Ha! I’ve got this question a lot 😉 My standard answer is that the CoS job every month looks different. In my case, it usually resolves around 3 aspects:
I take care of special initiatives of Inovo that either have strategic importance to us or no clear owner. In any case, I pick them up and make sure they happen.
I make sure our operations run smoothly, each action item has an owner & a deadline, we prioritize our work in line with strategy & OKRs, and constantly learn as an organization.
I work with all members of the Inovo team, but naturally most closely with Tomek. As a CoS my task is to be his force multiplier, which basically means you are whatever the CEO needs in a given moment - advisor, truth-teller, proxy, etc.
I spend my free time on:
I love to experiment with optimizing my life (for unknown reasons half of my friends think I’m a productivity freak 🤷). So if you’d like to discuss protocols on how to get your 😴 sleep, 🧬 health, 📚 learning, 🏃♂️exercise, or 👨💼 workload right - ping me anytime 🙂.
I try to be active every day - mostly by 🏊🏻♂️ swimming or 🚴♂️ cycling (🤞 my goal for 2023 is to travel the Baltic coast with a bike).
👑 Queen’s Gambit led me to reunite with my childhood passion and I’m continuously getting better at it.
Although I’m spending much less time on it now - I still like to 🎮 play & support fan-created mods to 👴 old-school games like Rome Total War (LOTR), HoMM III (Horn of the Abyss), or Gothic (Archolos).
