As Vice President of Communications, Vojtech oversees global communications for Index, including policy and government relations across Europe. In addition to managing Index’s external affairs, he provides strategic counsel to the founders and CEOs of Index-backed companies, supporting their growth from early-stage startups to IPO.
At Index, Vojtech co-founded and leads the Not Optional policy campaign, which is backed by 500 CEOs and founders and successfully drove legislative reforms across Europe, including the UK, Germany, and France, while also elevating stock options as a key issue on the EU policy agenda. Most recently, he led the launch of Index Press, a collection of deeply researched books and apps that help founders make the right strategic decisions.
Before joining Index in 2013, Vojtech gained extensive experience in tech, comms and policy through his work with technology startups at leading communications agencies in San Francisco, London, and Prague. In 2009, he founded the London office of U.S.-based consultancy Atomic, which was later acquired by Grayling.
