O2 CZECH REPUBLIC

J an Hruska is a man on a mission . The CTO at O2 Czech Republic is not so much joining the post-pandemic wave of digital transformation as engineering the technological tide which continues to revolutionise our corporate and leisure lives .
In the space of an hour we cover CRM , cybersecurity , apps , TV platforms , employee dynamics , 5G and mobile , and I leave our Zoom call with a sense that we could easily have talked another hour , such is the dynamism of O2 ’ s business , scope of the mobile industry and seemingly endless permutations which have been presented by the pandemic . To date , the operator has almost 8 million mobile and fixed access subscribers .
COVID-19 has impacted us all , and for Hruska , it ’ s been a case of juggling inherent paradoxes : while economies have slowed , the tech space has accelerated , and despite virtual being the new normal , we can ’ t skirt physical realities . He has had to keep a close eye on all four balls simultaneously .
