In 2016, Mr. Jakub Zahrádka worked with us as a consultant for the Rakovník Hospital. At that time, the hospital was facing negative economic and personnel trends. Many of the issues stemmed from long-standing ingrained practices in management. His assessment of the situation was realistic—not only from a financial standpoint of view, but also in terms of staffing and overall company operations. The recommendations he provided were well-structured and actionable, and we have been gradually implementing them.

I have known Jakub for quite some time. I can say that I have met very few people in my career who have such an extraordinary ability to see into the depths of crisis management and transformation. Jakub is incredibly quick at identifying the core of a problem—he is like a “sniffer dog.” In his work, he effectively combines two seemingly unrelated approaches—on one hand, he applies logic and a systematic view of variables, and on the other, he has an amazing sense of people. And what do I value him for the most? Honesty, reliability, humanity, and a big heart.
Petr is an exceptional person and a remarkable coach. He will help you find what really matters in life. If you are a person who, despite all worldly success, still feels inner discomfort, Jakub will help you. He is a true guide who brings peace to your mind and strength to your new journey. He will help you change your perspective and accept things in a simpler and more natural way. Based on my personal experience, I can highly recommend Jakub to anyone.

Jakub brought us together through our mutual interest in helping companies grow. We soon discovered that experience carries a great deal of valuable know-how, which firms need for more effective management, problem-solving, and restructuring. Our shared interests, ability to transform experience into practical added value, and collaboration in the field of crisis management allow managers to discover new perspectives or discuss their critical situations with us.
Jiří is well experienced consultant with numerous successful projects and satisfied clients behind him. What stands out in his consulting approach is his ideas, experience, and sensitive yet practical approach to the field.
Martin Plachý
Founders of GIMMEDATA s.r.o. – operators of the REKAP reporting system
When implementing digitalization projects in various companies, we often encounter a number of challenges related to processes, methodology, and the overall setup of the company. Sometimes, an external perspective and expertise tailored to the specific needs of the company are necessary. That’s where Jakub comes in. We first engaged him for a specific project, which led to the identification of key gaps in processes. Setting up new frameworks and presenting them in a way that makes sense to everyone is something Jakub excels at. His world is structure and logic. His approach is highly methodical, and he always delivers his work on time and with maximum dedication. He is not a theorist who simply discusses issues but someone who ensures that everything functions properly. And when necessary, he is willing to challenge established ideas or take the heat in critical situations.
Our work involves extensive reporting, and most of the time, it is not a simple matter. Complexity, clarity, and thoroughness in reporting are crucial aspects where a skilled consultant like Martin makes a real difference. By implementing the REKAP system, we have simplified reporting processes, provided new perspectives on financial data, and eliminated inefficient investments in outdated financial tools. We are confident that REKAP brings real value.
When a company wants to move forward, it needs a well-structured and functional system, transparent audits, and the ability to rely on its data. We needed a partner who could provide clear arguments and practical solutions, not just theoretical advice. Martin and his team delivered precisely that. If you’re looking for someone who will guide you clearly and logically while maintaining a structured and sophisticated approach, we highly recommend Martin.
Vodafone Nápad roku
Jana Hodboďová
Executive Manager
Every year, the Vodafone Nápad roku (Idea of the Year) competition sees around two hundred interesting projects. We collaborate with mentors who provide entrepreneurs with valuable insights and practical experience. One of our long-term mentors in Vodafone Nápad roku is Jakub, who, year after year, takes on the challenge of helping startup projects refine their final presentations, assess the relevance of their business models, set the right growth strategies, and manage financial planning while identifying new opportunities.
The competition is open to students as well as the general public—anyone with an interesting business idea, plans for company expansion, or a project in development. It doesn’t matter if the idea is not fully polished yet or if the project is still in its early preparation phase. We give everyone a fair chance, regardless of their previous experience.
Our goal is to help transform ideas—whether written on a napkin or already structured—into viable business ventures, and Jakub plays a key role in this. Over the long term, we want to build a strong community where startups connect with potential investors, advisors, and partners, helping turn promising ideas into real businesses.
