The current CEO of Vodafone Czech Republic, Petr Dvořák, was promoted within the Vodafone Group this year, and Violeta Luca (43) will take his place from January 2024.

Violeta Luca General Manager Czech Republic and Slovakia at Microsoft posted on her linkedin page: “After a fantastic ride of 7 years at Microsoft, it’s time for me to embark on a new journey. I am grateful for the incredible opportunities and experiences I had while working with talented people in Central Europe and around the world. Special thanks to my teams from Microsoft Czech Republic and Slovakia, Microsoft Romania. Thank you to broader Central Europe, CEMA and EMEA teams. Thank you to our customers and partners, we achieved many great things together which made me both proud and humble.
The process of finding my successor at Microsoft is well underway, and I have no doubt that the talented core team, led by Michal Marek during the transition period, will continue to lead Czechia & Slovakia to new heights. I wish them – Lenka Novakova, Cem Kubilay Tomáš M. Dalibor Kacmar and the wider team continued success.
As I look forward to joining Vodafone Czech Republic on January 8th, I am reminded of the words of Peter Drucker: “The best way to predict the future, is to create it”’. I am honoured to take the new role and I am embracing the new chapter with enthusiasm and a winning mindset for a bright future ahead, together with the amazing Vodafone teams and stakeholders.”
