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.

Iva Vedrova

Executive Director

My job mainly involves keeping in close contact with our VIP clients and providing them with the best care possible. I joined the company in 2007 and am very happy to see where we’ve come since then and how positive the feedback we receive is. ZELENKA is where my heart lies.

Michael Borkovec

Head of Projects

I’m in charge of all our projects, and I’m going to successfully finish yours, too. It’s all thanks to my years of experience and our team of very competent colleagues. As my business card says – ‘Leave your worries to me’.

Juraj Porada

Head of Sales

I’m in charge of ZELENKA’s sales department. I make sure our clients from both the Czech Republic and Slovakia have everything they need. A fair and friendly approach is a big part of what I do, and that’s another reason why I enjoy my job so much.

David Moznar

Deputy Head of Projects, Pricing Manager

I’m a warrior in my heart and soul, and you can see it in my work. I fight for every single project of our Czech and Slovak clients and I don’t stop until they are absolutely satisfied. And that’s something you can absolutely count on too.

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. :-)

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

PM Team Leader

I mostly take care of clients from German-speaking countries and always listen to their individual needs. I try to be supportive to all customers and suppliers and lead my team the way we can handle any challenge together. A friendly approach, openness, support and understanding are the pillars of a great cooperation to me. I put my heart into my work and I believe it shows.

Tereza Verbikova

Quality 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.

David Klouda

External Marketing Manager

I'm in charge of showing the world the great job that my colleagues do, and how companies can get the most out of working alongside ZELENKA. Marketing materials, social media, PR, working with service providers… no matter what I'm doing, I make sure that the spirit of the company shines through: top-quality translations with a human touch.

Eric Jokiel

Business Development Manager

My specialization is people! I love the fact that my job requires daily interaction with clients and colleagues. I am responsible for establishing new partnerships with clients from German-speaking countries. I bring a personal touch to my friendly approach and a willingness to go the extra mile to help our clients in any situation.

Adela Petrakova

Vendor Manager

Happy translators – that’s my job. No matter if the task at hand is to negotiate the terms of our cooperation or solve issues with CAT and QA tools, our vendors can always rely on my support. I am constantly on the lookout and make contacts with new translators, so we always have the right linguists for our clients’ needs.

Ondrej Konecny

Business Development Manager

Thanks to my previous experience as a project manager, I know the translation process inside out. I am able to propose cost and time-effective solutions without promising the impossible. Each of my clients can be sure that I will stand up for them and see each project through to a successful finish. I communicate openly at all times and am happy to advise on anything.

Jozef Sisjak

Business Development Manager

My colleagues would probably say that I like to laugh a lot and pass it on to others. This is also true when I deal with clients. I take my work responsibly, I am empathetic, cheerful and interested in other people's stories. I think all of this makes me a good Business Development Manager, because I know how to listen and then properly communicate all the wishes and needs of our clients to our team and vendors.

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.
