Menity Leaders Talk
Conversations with leaders who carry real decisions
Leaders Talk is Menity’s editorial interview series with CEOs, board members, CHROs and senior leaders across CEE. Each conversation examines performance, transformation, accountability and the trade-offs behind decisions that must work in practice.
First published in 2014–2016 and relaunched in September 2025. Interviews are conducted by one of Menity’s co-founders, Vladimír Janík or Peter Nemčok. Guests speak from direct experience; answers are edited only for length and language and reviewed before publication.
How senior decisions are made across CEE
Senior decisions in CEE are made with incomplete information, regional pressure, changing ownership expectations and limited time. Leaders Talk shows how experienced operators handle those conditions.
The conversations focus on what changed, what was decided and what had to work locally. The same context shapes CEO, Board and C-level appointments across the region.
