CEE
Core leadership market
Selected cross-border mandates extend into DACH and the UK.
Every engagement is retained. The responsible partner remains involved from mandate definition through the final decision.
Two founders. One operating standard.
The partner in the first conversation remains accountable
Every senior mandate is led directly by Peter Nemčok or Vladimír Janík. The responsible partner remains involved from the initial discussion through mandate definition, market approach, candidate assessment and the final decision.
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Peter combines nearly three decades in commercial leadership and executive search. Before co-founding Menity, he held commercial roles at General Motors and Orange, where performance, execution and accountability shaped senior decisions.
He leads CEO succession, Board and C-level mandates in transformation, growth, ownership change and post-M&A contexts, with particular experience across automotive, industrial and technology sectors.
His commercial work is also grounded in an MBA focused on management and commerce and experience leading searches for growth, transformation and post-M&A leadership roles.
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Vladimír combines nearly three decades in corporate HR and executive search. Before co-founding Menity, he was HR Director during the integration of HVB Bank into UniCredit — a regulated environment where leadership continuity and clear accountability were critical.
He leads CEO succession, Board and confidential C-level mandates, particularly in aviation, financial services and regulated environments, including appointments requiring fit-and-proper or regulatory approval.
His aviation work is also grounded in a master's degree in military aviation operations and experience leading European searches for EASA-regulated leadership roles.
Selected mandate perspectives
Experience across critical leadership contexts
Examples from completed mandates. Client identities remain confidential; the roles, sectors and decision contexts are real.
Regulated aviation leadership
European searches for a CTO, CHRO and senior leaders responsible for aviation safety and regulatory compliance. Candidate assessment included regulatory suitability alongside leadership and sector experience.
Regional technology leadership
A regional CEE AI and Data Science appointment. Menity clarified the mandate and evidence requirements before mapping and approaching the external leadership market.
Automotive leadership
A CEE Operations Director appointment for a major CEE manufacturing operation preparing for expansion. The mandate required factory-floor credibility, organisational leadership and delivery against growth plans.
