Social skills and competences Team work – experience in working in various multicultural environments. Open minded approach,
problem solving skills, independent, creative thinking.
Organisational skills and
competences
Ability to work under tight deadlines, ability to work in a multicultural environment with a high level of
tact and diplomacy, thorough experience in organizing meetings at various levels, including with
government officials, civil society organisations, academics or local authorities.
Computer skills and competences I use the standard Microsoft Office set of tools in my daily work, including the MS Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Explorer and Outlook. I also have extensive experience using various tools developed
specifically for the purposes of the European Commission, including project management databases
such as CRIS and Saykiss, financial tools such as Appfin or ABAC, and other databases such as
Datawarehouse or PADOR. The experience gained while working with various different tools and
programs over time helps me to easily adapt to new tools and to become quickly operational with
any software I have to use in my professional life.
Driving licence(s) Yes, driving licence B
Additional information During my career at the European Commission I have followed several courses and trainings
covering the topics of finance, communication or project management and evaluation. Among others
I have completed European Commission trainings on Public speaking, Advocacy skills, Project
Cycle Management, Project Logframes, Expenditure Lifecycle, and Public Procurement.
I have contributed to development of a strategy for Capacity building, Networking and Knowledge
sharing for projects financed under the Development Education and Awareness Raising programme
of the European Commission. I drafted Terms of Reference, including definition of priorities and
objectives, and contributed to launching an open Call for Tender to contract a team of consultants to
implement the strategy with a budget of more than EUR 2M. As an outcome of this work, platforms
and strategies for knowledge sharing and capacity building for project beneficiaries were developed,
including impact assessment strategy, creation of Multi Stakeholder Group for discussion and
exchange and regular exchange hub meetings.
As I believe the achievements in the field of sport can also show the level of commitment and are
therefore of relevance for the professional life, I would also like to mention here my titles of the
Academic champion of the Czech republic in Alpine skiing from 2004 and the title of Belgian
champion in Alpine skiing for 2012.
