Ondrej Spodniak Chairman of the Board of Directors of Premiot Group, a.s.
08. 08.2021
He founded the Premiot Group investment company with his wife in 1999. Although the company has grown over the years, it still retains the spirit of a family business. Maybe this is due to the fact that Ondřej Spodniak is able to surround himself with innovative and inspiring colleagues, who live and breathe for the company. It is for this reason that he is happiest at work. In private, his main passions are his family and his musical hobbies. He plays the guitar and drums, while his favourite musical genre is Rock. However, in contrast to the uncertain fame of rock stars, he regards success as the ideas and works that will remain here long after us. His most distant business trip has been to Hong Kong.
What is your most memorable travel experience?
The Golden Triangle Burma – Thailand – Laos in 2008, when my wife’s and my passports were taken from us in Burma and our visas to Thailand were revoked. In Burma, we learned that happiness is a state of mind. Although there was a war being waged against the drug Mafia, the people were grateful and happy, always smiling.
What are your travel essentials – both for business and leisure?
I travel quite light. But what I never forget to pack are running shoes.
What do you value most in your company?
At Premiot, we base our success on people, trust and longevity. We win by honour, not by deceit.
Your company is successful because ... we can say that Premiot is a successful company because our market share is growing, revenues are increasing and we are becoming more professional. What is not in motion does not grow or strengthen, but, in my opinion, gradually dies. Therefore, it is necessary to take a definite step every day to fulfil the aforementioned goals. We at Premiot are fully aware that it is merely the results which count.
Whether we like it or not, we are connected to Nature and our desire for its proximity grows increasingly. This can also be seen in the modern approach to development construction. A perfect example of connecting Nature with housing is the extensive Green Village project of the Real-Treuhand company. It is flourishing near Benešov and Konopiště Chateau, with the 2nd stage currently being completed, offering 25 family houses for immediate occupancy with a layout of 4-5 kk (3 to 4 bedrooms). However, Real-Treuhand has more unique projects prepared.
He has been working in the insurance industry for more than 25 years. He is happiest with good results and the satisfaction of clients and employees. Above all, he considers it as the greatest success when the people around him and in the company are happy, healthy and successful. He keeps fit with his favourite sports, which include mountain biking, skiing, running and golf. This also puts him in a good mood. Perhaps this is also why his most popular historical figure is Jára Cimrman, the Czech fictional scientist and all-rounder. The most distant destination Pavel Wiesner has visited, however, is real – South Africa.
