About me

At Konsilio, I have been specializing in consulting for sales, marketing, and operational processes in the hospitality sector for over five years. My career has allowed me to actively contribute to the development of hotel resorts and restaurant facilities—from their very inception to their successful operation.

During my time with companies like Tatry Mountain Resorts and Maladinovo, I gained extensive experience in setting operational standards, defining market positioning, training staff, and conducting mystery shopping. This comprehensive approach enables me to identify the strengths of operations and pinpoint specific areas for process improvement and optimization.

My work experience abroad, including in Austria, the Czech Republic, and the USA, has provided me with valuable insights into international trends and best practices in the hospitality industry. Today, I leverage this expertise to design solutions that deliver exceptional results for my clients.
