Marek Mach – A Sportsman and Traveller That Listens to Intuition and the People Around Him
What made me happy at INVENTI and what made me sweat quite a bit
For me, the most pleasing moments at INVENTI are always when something good is accomplished. Whether it's the intelligent caravan solution project that was recently awarded in Germany or an app that truly helps people, like the Cognitive I.V.F. project which helps families with assisted reproduction. I am also happy when I see the solidarity of Inventors, like in the recent fundraiser for tornado-hit Moravia.
The positive feedback from satisfied customers also brings me great joy. I am similarly pleased with the welcoming atmosphere that prevails in our company and that is also often mentioned and appreciated by the guests.
There have been many difficult moments though. Whether it was becoming independent from Artin, parting ways with one of our partners, firing people, saying goodbye to some customers or dealing with difficult situations on projects, which is our daily bread. At crucial moments, I have always relied on intuition and the support of my partners.

What else should you know about Mark?
I'm an eternal optimist. I always try to look on the bright side of the world. I like the company of friends and meeting new people.
I make friends with ease and love building long-term relationships. I believe in their strength. It makes everything work better in my private and professional life and, most importantly, everything is much more fun. Over the years, some of my friends have become business partners and vice versa.
A huge support and my lifelong kind and honest critic is my wife Sonia. Our life is never boring thanks to our two lively sons.
I have been practicing karate since my childhood. I am a black belt and also an executive of the Czech Federation of Okinawan Karate and Kobudo, which is a traditional style of karate and kobudo originating directly from Okinawa. In Veltrusy, where I live, I train 20 small karate players, including my sons. This experience has improved my management skills profoundly. :)
Traveling is my big hobby. I love to explore new countries and cultures. I taste local specialties, learn about local customs, sights, history, and try to understand the mentality of people. In short, I love touching, tasting and smelling other parts of the world. I consider it the basis of a broader human outlook.
