Director 

Linda is the head and heart of Nadání. She has been in the organisation the longest, almost from the beginning, having joined three months into its operation. Linda sees Nadání as her “baby” and does everything possible and impossible to take care of it. She brings not only her ideas but also a piece of herself to Nadání. Her strongest feature is communication and that’s why she enjoys personal contact with partners, networking and fundraising the most. Her job is also to coordinate the whole team and, thanks to her experience, she is able to look for new solutions and ideas for helping the youth.

And what does she do after office hours? She runs to pick up her son from school and the house chores follow.

But when she really wants to be alone and have a minute for herself, she goes running along the Vltava River or gets on a bike or inline skates. Her passion is travelling by car around the Czech Republic but also abroad. She loves Italy, so her journeys often lead her there.
