About Us
Look, we've been watching leaders struggle for 14 years. They get promoted, then realize nobody taught them how to actually lead people. That's where we step in. Summit Academy isn't your typical training outfit. We work with real companies facing real problems — teams that won't communicate, projects that derail, managers who feel lost. Our job's simple: we fix that. You'll work with instructors who've managed teams, made mistakes, and learned what actually sticks. Not theory. Not buzzwords. Just practical stuff that changes how people lead.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.

Meet Our Team
The people behind Summit Academy
Petra Kovács
Founder & Lead Instructor
Spent 19 years managing teams before opening Summit. Fired her first boss (metaphorically). Believes bad leadership is a solvable problem. Still has her worst performance review on her office wall.
Martin Dvořák
Senior Trainer
Was a project manager for a construction company. Learned leadership the hard way through 47 failed projects and 3 promotion cycles. Now helps others skip that pain. Obsessed with systems.
Zuzana Malá
Program Director
Ran HR for 11 years at a mid-size tech firm. Knows exactly why people quit and why they stay. Designs our programs so they stick. Takes this stuff personally.
We’re a team that values ownership, clarity, and growth. We celebrate wins, learn fast, and keep client outcomes at the center.
Our Story
Started in 2011 when our founder got tired of watching talented managers fail. She'd seen smart people promoted into leadership roles with zero preparation. So she built something different. First year? 12 clients. All referrals. We grew slow because we only took on work we could actually do well. Moved to our current space in 2018. Today we've trained 847 leaders across everything from startups to big industrial companies. Same philosophy though — no shortcuts, no cookie-cutter programs.

Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Honesty First
We'll tell you what's broken and why. Even when it's uncomfortable. Especially then. People don't improve when you sugarcoat things.
Real Experience Matters
Our trainers have actually managed people. Run budgets. Fired people. Promoted them. We don't teach from textbooks — we teach from scars.
Results Over Attendance
You're not here to check a box. We measure success by whether your team functions better after you leave our program. That's what counts.
Keep It Simple
Fancy language is just noise. We explain things clearly. Use examples you recognize. If you can't explain it in plain Czech, you don't understand it.
