Viktor started out as a salesman in an analytical laboratory, where his daily routine consisted of calling customers from a list and seeking orders. He gradually worked his way up to become the company's director. After eight years, he decided it was time for a change and left to join Tesla Hloubětín, where he spent a year managing an independent water treatment plant. This was followed by a move outside the field—he spent three years at a container manufacturing company—but eventually returned to chemistry. He realized that he wanted to stay in the field: "People have a tendency to belittle what they learned in school. Often, you don't remember a lot of things, but somewhere in the back of your mind, the connections are there. You know the environment, you meet people you had at school, and somehow it all fits together." Through his position as a distributor of laboratory chemicals, he joined Synthesia, where he worked as a production plant manager, and eventually Brenntag, where he still works as an executive.
 
He sees nothing wrong with changing jobs or even venturing outside his field. People shouldn't be afraid of change; if something about their current position or company doesn't suit them, they should explore other options and discover their potential. On the other hand, he points out that it's good to be able to describe the reasons for these changes, which someone might read about in your CV, and turn them to your advantage.

He likes his current position because every day brings new challenges and knowledge. He says that he is not a "great scientist" and does not want to know every detail of a single field. On the contrary, he likes to have a horizontal overview of many things and connect them, finding connections. At Brenntag, he combines chemistry, technology, and business. In addition, he also deals with personnel and administrative matters.
 
He sees mentoring as an opportunity to further promote chemistry, even among people who are already studying it. "Students should know that chemistry is not just laboratory work and scientific activity. It is also business or manufacturing; in short, it can be applied in all areas of human activity." Viktor is a member of the board of the Chemical Industry Association and vice president of the Chemical Traders Association, and he sees the promotion of chemistry as his duty. He is happy to support people with a genuine interest and, in return, learn something about the current generation of students and young employees—what their priorities and expectations are, which he sees as important input for the further development of the field and job positions.

• having an overview of what you are doing and how to get everything done
• finding the direction in which to move forward

Martin got into his current job through photography and graphic design. He was interested in how images are created, what happens in the background, and how we can manipulate them on a computer. He studied computer science at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, and today he works in signal and image processing, mainly in the field of medicine. For example, he is currently developing software for hospitals to evaluate CT data, which will enable the estimation of the percentage of lung involvement by coronavirus. At the same time, he also works at the open access microscopy workplace at the Faculty of Science, Charles University, and at the NTK, where he helps with the introduction of Open Science in Czech science. Through his position at the NTK, he can constantly learn new trends in data management and pass them on, including in his teaching activities at the University of Chemistry and Technology.

After starting college, Martin felt that many things were missing, so he began to get involved wherever he could to help get things moving. He rose to the position of student president of the academic senate and joined several student associations. "I got used to having some kind of fulfillment, and all those extra activities also gave me the space to find out what I enjoy and what I'm good at. At some point, you get to a point where you're doing a lot of things and enjoying them, and you want to start getting paid for them. Then you have to force yourself to find out what makes you different from others and who might pay you for it." As a mentor, Martin would like to help students learn to take a broader view of the field they are involved in. He can advise them on which areas outside their study program to focus on. Moreover, he himself missed a similar program when he was studying at the University of Chemistry and Technology. 

• Leadership: how to maintain team continuity? How to set up a motivating group environment? How to find balance between freedom and rules?
• Event management: how to make and run a good event?
• Design process: how to create a cult service/product/process? How to invent/innovate/create something new. How to make it not an average thing, but a thing that is remembered and loved?
• How to find balance without losing your sh*t?
• Photography: documentary/candid photography, composition, analogue photo, basic editing

My happiest day as a child was when my kindergarten teacher agreed to let me take a part of the class to our house and I could lend everyone toys and organize the whole thing so that everyone had fun. I organized building of sandcastles in the sandbox and negotiated the use of plastic trucks for construction purposes (instead of wasteful driving). Nothing much has changed. I like to build, bring people and resources together to create higher units that perform new, unexpected work, service or experiences.
I led clubs, work and hobby teams. I work best in a group of up to 10 people, but I also led Psy-High – my 4part, almost a week-long festival-baby in a flooded quarry – with 15 “officers” and 300 volunteers. I prefer to build things out of nothing. In various collectives I have built, among other things: student television, a university counselling centre, a new setup of the university's internal community, a concept of social networks, events, festivals, independent publishing houses – various vinyl’s, cassettes, etc., and last but not least a forest-bound wood crafted settlement and many beautiful places in nature (viewpoints, campsites, spaces, ...). I love photography, my heroes include war photojournalists such as Patrick Chauvel and others.
I have always done many things in parallel. I know what it’s like to be frustrated about not being an expert in anything but being able to do a little bit of everything - and I can assure you that it pays off in the end.
I like history and many other different fields, I enjoy expanding things into a broader/higher framework, I have sensitized myself over the years by looking for overlaps. I will be very happy to search for new perspectives with you, that will show banal things as interesting, complex things as graspable. We can find inspiration in unexpected sources for all dead-ends, from alchemy, through historical warlords to anthropology, technology, ...

• advice on career development and finding professional direction
• academic career development
• management skills, team management
• mentoring in the field of energy and the environment

My career path has taken me from managing the CTU UCEEB research institute to founding EnviTrail, where, as CTO, I deal with ESG and carbon footprint calculations for small and large clients such as ČSOB, the PPF Group, and Škoda Auto. I have experience in team leadership and complex project management, and my work also requires a broad view of energy, the environment, and the academic world. 
 
For me, mentoring means openly sharing knowledge and experience, but also listening and understanding your goals and challenges. Together, we can explore your career options, work on developing your skills, and create strategies to achieve your academic and professional goals. I approach mentoring with respect and openness, which means that your topics and questions always come first. Whether it's specific advice on energy and sustainability, navigating the academic world, or leading teams, I'm here to help you find your way. 
 
We plan to meet in person regularly, every three to six weeks, depending on what works best for you. I also enjoy working on practical projects or "homework assignments" that can help you learn something about yourself, gain new skills, or learn something new. Outside of the professional world, I enjoy music, skiing, astronomy, and evolutionary biology, which are areas that not only bring me joy but also new perspectives that I can share through mentoring. I look forward to meeting you and discovering together where your journey will take you.
