Make our team your team

Zbynek Zelenka

General Manager

I founded ZELENKA in 1990 with the vision of building a company full of quality and reliable experts. I wasn’t afraid to surround myself with people who were better than me, and I listened to them carefully. As a result, we managed, step-by-step, to build up a translation company our partners could rely on whenever they need us.

Ivo Vedra

CEO

I have a clear goal ahead of me – I want to take ZELENKA to the next level using the most modern tools available. By combining the current quality of services with effective innovations, we will be able to deliver greater added value. It is my hope that customers will continue to see us as a reliable partner that they can turn to at any time with 100% trust.

Iva Vedrova

COO

Besides the strategy and management work that must be done in every company, fostering a team is important for me as well. A robust team of talented, enthusiastic people who take joy in work done well and honestly stands behind all our translating, interpreting, language teaching, and graphics editing. I highly value the energy they pour into every project. Our customer references confirm that this is the right approach. Having people like these around me is inspiring, and I am truly thankful for them all.

David Moznar

CFO

As the Chief Financial Officer, I am responsible for the overall financial management of the company. I plan budgets, manage cash flows, and look for ways to effectively handle resources so that the company can grow in the long term. I also apply insights and experience from my roles as a Project Manager and Effectivity Leader that I have gained over the years at ZELENKA. Every financial decision has an impact on the functioning of the entire company. I strive to ensure that these decisions enable us to invest in innovations and improve services for our customers.

Sarka Kadlcikova

HR Director

My primary objective is to make sure our colleagues and translators feel well taken care of and feel motivated. One way of doing this is through our team building activities and training events which I help organize. And as an HR Director, I always treat everyone fairly and give them a chance to show their best. :-)

Eva Osohova

Vendor Manager

I believe the roots of successful cooperation lie in communication and mutual trustworthiness. That’s why in my work with translators, I strive to ensure they know they can turn to me at any time with both technical and ordinary problems in their daily lives. I’ve also already acquired experience as a project manager in the past. Thus, I know pitfalls that await on both sides – translators’ and PMs’. That leaves me all the more eager to ensure people have everything they need for good work, everyone’s satisfied and looking forward to future projects. Behind all the monitors sit people with their own individual stories, and that’s how I approach them. :-)

Tereza Verbikova

Quality Manager and Marketing Manager

I am responsible for making sure that we consistently maintain the highest level of quality in our translations and that we meet all international standards. Being a quality manager also means preserving the quality of the services we provide and all internal processes in the company.

Jiri Srotir

IT Manager

I oversee the smooth operation of all our servers and computers and train artificial intelligence to streamline our processes. I also manage the security of our entire IT infrastructure so my colleagues can focus 100% of their efforts on your projects with peace in mind.

Jiri Kouril

Head of DTP

Since an early age, I needed to have everything neatly organized, arranged and in its place. I had no idea that this would become so handy in my role as the Head of DTP. Everything we produce needs to be exact and meet our client’s requirements. And I can keep my eagle eye on it.

Daniela Skacanova

PM Team Leader

As the head of the project department for English-speaking clients, I make full use of my strengths – I pass on my experience to my colleagues, I take care of the most demanding projects and, when necessary, I also throw myself into linguistic tasks (I love languages!). I am proud that we can rely on one another in our team and help each other whenever we need it.

Stepan Krajca

PM Team Leader

As leader of the CZ/SK project team, I feel like a duck in the water. I can fully devote myself to helping my colleagues develop and at the same time apply my passion for innovation – I am always looking for ways to do things more efficiently. I also enjoy collaborating with other departments and love getting my colleagues as excited as I am about innovations, which we can then work together to implement. And be careful asking me about pivot tables or file formats – you won‘t be able to stop me once I start. :-)

Lucie Flamova

Deputy Team Leader

I love languages, but I have one favourite – German. That’s why I primarily (though not exclusively) take care of customers from German-speaking countries. I always listen to their individual needs and try to be a good support for them as well as for our suppliers, because only together can we overcome every challenge and successfully complete every project. Trust, openness, kindness, support and communication are, for me, the pillars of great cooperation. The greatest reward for me is satisfied customers and the great relationships we build together every day. I put my heart into my work, and I believe it shows.

Barbora Smykalova

Senior Business Development Manager

As a Business Development Manager, I focus on building long-term relationships with customers and ensuring their satisfaction. The key to success for me is communication – that’s why I listen to them and then recommend services that best meet their expectations. I do it all with one clear goal – I want to be a reliable and trustworthy partner who offers quality and a professional approach in all aspects of cooperation.

Matej Machala

Business Development Manager

Customer satisfaction, finding the best solution, and transparent, active communication – these are the main aspects of my work. I secure customer requirements, explain the ideal approach and ensure everything goes smoothly. And if an obstacle does appear, I’m always ready to overcome it. To this end, I use the experience I’ve gathered as a project manager. It lets me understand the translation process from start to finish.

Petra Kunovska

Business Development Manager

Thanks to my 7 years of experience as a project manager at Zelenka, I am able to offer customers the best possible solution, tailored to their specific needs. I can explain everything in detail so that even a layperson can clearly understand how the entire process works. Customer satisfaction is my top priority. I want them to enjoy coming back to us and to be able to rely on us to handle every challenge.

Marketa Jurakova

Chief Accountant

I like to keep things in order and I'm pretty meticulous. At the same time, I don't shy away from a challenge and I'm generally very action-oriented. And I'm also a big optimist and like to keep my perspective at all times. All this helps me in my “ant-like” work with numbers.

Eva Dohnalova

Marketing Specialist

When somebody produces work as fine as my ZELENKA teammates do, it’s a joy to show it to the world. And that’s precisely my job: using promotional materials, web pages, social media posts and more to show everybody what we do, and especially how well we do it. I take my work very seriously and responsibly. After all, at a company where words like reliability, helpfulness, mutual respect and honesty are not just empty words, it goes hand in hand with our everyday life.
