Founders' Profile
Bea Benkova
Originally from Slovakia, where she earned her first Masters' degree in Banking and Economics, Bea has held various managerial positions in business and also served as the personal assistant to the former Slovak Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policy.
She moved to the UK in 1999 and studied at Oxford and completed her second Masters' degree in Risk Management and Regulation in the prestigious ICMA Centre in Reading. Consequently, Bea worked in the City of London at several large financial institutions over the next five years. She is also the co-founder of the Slovak British Business Council (SBBC) based in London, where she acted as the Chairman of the Board for the first two and a half years of its existence. In addition, Bea has six years of experience with personal transformation and breakthrough coaching empowering groups and individuals to create and fulfil on new possibilities in their lives.
Today Bea combines her experience in business with my passion for making a difference, through developing social enterprises and her activities as Ambassador and Coach of Extraordinary Women.
Jan Polak
Jan is a business consultant, strategy trainer and executive coach. He works with organisational leaders and their teams to link their inspiring vision into a robust strategy that then translates into tangible results. He also empowers entrepreneurs to effectively turn their passions
into businesses that they love every day.Jan spent almost 5 years with McKinsey & Company advising top management in large European corporations and now as a partner in several businesses (including Strategy Dynamics Solutions Ltd in London) working closely with executives, consultants, entrepreneurs and adventurers.
He often jokes that with his three business-related Master's degrees (including an MBA from London Business School) he is overqualified for most jobs; however, that's OK for him as he doesn't like jobs anyway. As business professional, adventurer, and the Wealth Dynamics Master Practitioner for Entrepreneurs he rather focuses his enthusiasm, curiosity and expertise on playing with and contributing to entrepreneurially-minded people and their endeavours, and help them be prosperous and fulfilled in whatever they do.
