On Air: Podcast by Femme Palette

Daria Hvizdalova leads JHV Solutions, providing the industry with insights on how to automate manufacturing processes. She also takes care of R&D investment and strategy with the focus on spin-offs and joint ventures in the innovative technological fields. Among other things, Daria gave a TEDx talk - twice - can speak 5 languages, is a fresh mom and is only 26 years old! 

With Daria we discussed the journey that led her to the Czech Republic, how she got into Artificial Intelligence on a non-tech position, her experience with public speaking and how she's now combining maternity with professional life.

Born to two doctors in Sarajevo, in what soon became a war-torn country, Nina grew up in the Czech Republic and has always been enthusiastic about helping others. Nowadays, Nina and her team have a positive impact on society through her non-profit organization Sifty, where they combine what she considers most important: health and education. She strongly believes in ‘Prevention through education’,  which led her to start her second health-tech venture HealthBase.

With Nina, we talked about her journey into the health industry, starting the NGO and later on a health-tech startup while raising two little boys.

Check out Nina's LinkedIn profile and her business ventures Sifty and HealthBase.
