Lukáš Putna
CTO Heureka Group
Heureka Group, a.s.
Lukáš became a member of management of Heureka company in July 2017. He came to Heureka from a similar position that he held at Seznam before. From the beginning, Lukáš has tried to unite the technological direction with the product vision of Heureka. He supports agile methodologies with a strong emphasis on independent development teams. A joint strategy with the product department which leaves the maximum extent of decision to the development teams helps him to achieve this goal.
And how does Lukáš spend his free time? His greatest hobbies are activities performed together with his family, traveling and getting familiar with good food and drink. He enjoys quality beer, which he can talk about for hours. He relaxes by cooking, but at the same time he likes going out to eat something unconventional. He then catches up with all this through sport – riding a bike or in the gym.
