Libor is an Associate Professor at the Department of Marketing at the Prague University of Economics and Business, focusing on B2B markets.
As a boy, he had a clear plan to become an archaeologist who would discover another Troy or decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs. His plans changed, however, when his dad brought home one of the first programmable calculators. His passion for programming led him to pursue a Master’s degree in Technical Cybernetics at Czech Technical University in Prague. He was doubly lucky as he graduated in 1989, the year of the Velvet Revolution in our country, and then met Ales and Martin, two nice guys with whom he founded ComAp two years later, in 1991. Amazing years followed. Later, once they needed some structure, he became CEO and was responsible for the company and its product strategy. Along with many friends and employees, they turned ComAp into a worldwide leader in automation of on-site power generation.
After 25 great years, he realised it was time to hand over the helm to allow the company to grow further. ComAp Board was established, and Libor continued to focus on ComAp at a strategic level as a Non-Executive member, chairing at first the Innovation and Technology Committee and later Nominating and Remuneration Committee. To provide some balance for his engineering mind, he studied coaching. First, he obtained accreditation and later a Master’s degree in Executive Coaching at Ashridge Business School.
Nowadays, he uses his time as a board member, advisor, teacher and investor for both businesses and non-profit organisations, both with high ESG profiles. As an advisor, he helps companies to create a Board of Directors and implement Corporate Governance. As an impact investor, he helps young and passionate people build their own companies and achieve net zero by 2050.
