Banker and finance professional with more than 15 years of experience in SME banking,
structured finance, and investment projects. My career spans leading Czech and international
banks, where I worked in relationship management, regional leadership, and complex credit
structuring for corporate clients, developers, and energy projects.
I am currently active as a commercial specialist at Fingood and as CFO of Signisol, a
company developing and operating power flexibility and ancillary services (SVR) projects in
the energy sector. My expertise includes credit structuring, risk assessment, cash-flow
modelling, and investor oversight across the full project lifecycle.
I focus on pragmatic, well-structured financing solutions that balance risk, return, and long-
term sustainability. I am particularly interested in energy infrastructure, decentralised
generation, and flexibility markets, where finance, regulation, and technology intersect.
Outside of finance, I love travelling, nature, mountains, long walks, and discovering new
places, which help me maintain perspective and balance.
