Fero Baník

Fero has a PhD in robotics, yet he decided to take over the family heating installation business. At the time, with only five employees and at a loss. Without knowing the agile approach or these methods, he intuitively rebuilt the mental setup of the company into a self-directed organization in successive steps. Today this company, with its representation of different roles and expertise, is completely horizontal, without any middle management.

She studied Andragogy, is a professional coach, lecturer, and mentors in internal and external mentoring programs. Monika is a passionate traveller, who in her free time can often be found travelling with her family, whether on a motorbike, in a car, motorhome or with sports equipment – skis, bike or skates. Her active lifestyle reflects her dynamic approach to work and personal life.
