The managerial elite shares their experience at NEWTON

NEWTON University attracts inspiring personalities from the world of business. At the end of October, finalists of the prestigious Manager of the Year competition, organised by the Czech Management Association, visited us as part of the Managers of the Year Conference. Each of them brought a unique management story to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Speakers included 2023 Manager of the Year award-winner Michal Hornák; Lenka Průšová, COO at CB21 Pharma; Dalibor Kačmář, CTO of Microsoft in the Czech Republic and Slovakia; Martin Hrubý, CMO of Slevomat; Renata Červenák Nývltová, CEO of Elton hodinářská a.s.; Martin Válek, CEO of Karat Software a.s.; Daniel Digoň, CEO of Atalian; Robert Masarovič, CEO of Pražská strojírna a.s.; Michal Řezníček, CEO of Direct Insurance; and Jaroslav Brandejs, municipal office secretary of Říčany and visionary leader.

The guests delivered inspiring speeches, each presenting their own distinct management style and journey to success. Their stories illustrated the importance of being goal-oriented, creative, visionary, and capable of crisis management. These qualities are essential for overcoming challenges and achieving outstanding results, offering every student inspiration to work on themselves and develop the skills needed for future success.

Beyond storytelling, the conference provided valuable know-how for the young generation of aspiring managers. As a special highlight, students had the chance to enter a competition to shadow one of these leaders. More details will be shared soon.
