Kiwi appoints chief information officer
Kiwi-com has appointed David Pavlik as its new chief information officer.
He joins from SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California.
He has also worked for tech companies in a variety of positions, ranging from service delivery lead at Microsoft to engineering manager at Netflix.
At Kiwi.com, he will work closely with the chief product officer, chief technology officer and chief data and automation officer to ‘align company systems, tools and processes to the product roadmap’.
"We are very excited to welcome such a well-known figure in the Czech and Slovak engineering community as David," said Oliver Dlouhy, founder and CEO of Kiwi.com.
"Kiwi.com will gain massively from David’s experience at such premier companies as Amazon, Netflix and Microsoft as we strive to match the achievements of those world-beating companies.
"The fact David has chosen to relocate with his family back to the Czech Republic after 10 years in the US speaks volumes about how he sees the potential of Kiwi.com and what we are trying to achieve."
