Her story

2002 - 2010

Education across borders | SLOVAKIA - USA - UK - POLAND

Born in Slovakia, Eva goes to the US at the age of 17 as an exchange student. Living and studying in a different country gives her brand new perspectives and fuells her curiosity. In the UK, she earns Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management. Her Master’s degree comes from the Jagiellonian University in Poland.

2010 - 2013

The first time leader | SHELL

Building on numerous “student jobs“, she enters the corporate world with Shell. From customer service roles, she builds her way up to a Process Coach and a Team Lead at last. Leading operational teams is rewarding, yet she also experiences the challenges of being a first time leader.

2014 - 2018

From leading to learning | BOOKING.COM

Moving to Amsterdam and joining a tech company, this time as a more senior leader, enriches her management experience. At the same time, she is realising that she is at her best, when she can help others with their leadership challenges. Pivoting to Learning and Agile Coaching is the first step into this direction.

Since then

At ING, she creates an award-winning learning strategy and implements a complex learning program, awarded gold for “Best Results of a Learning Program” and silver for “Best Learning Program Supporting a Change Transformation Business Strategy".
