Jan Klouda
General counsel | Vodafone Czech Republic
Vice president, legal affairs, risk management and corporate security | Vodafone Czech Republic
Now with over three million customers, Vodafone Czech Republic is one of the largest mobile providers in the country, and is at the forefront of technological innovation in this highly competitive market. Jan Klouda, general counsel of the company since 2011, leads the legal support of this innovation, particularly in the area of IT service delivery in which the company has a growing market. Klouda joined the company in 2007 as director of legal affairs and has made a huge impact on the company’s operations in the decade since. He is now firmly established as the head of legal matters and has added a more tangible senior corporate string to his bow having been made a member of the board of directors at the end of 2014. As such, he is a fine example of the hugely positive impact elite corporate counsel can have on their companies from both a commercial and legal perspective.
