I'm a media and language expert and have been deeply involved with Asia for more than 17 years.  Based in Beijing since 2006, I lead hands-on projects in local media training, social media innovation, digital media narratives and corporate social responsibility. Besides my native Czech, French and Russian, I speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Mongolian, Spanish, Greek and German. I'm an Asia Society Fellow and a frequent speaker at events hosted by TEDx, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Institute for the Future, the Aspen Institute, and the United Nations.
