Lumir brings to the executive search field a distinguished career spanning over three decades, marked by deep specialization in the Central and Eastern European region, with a focus on the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Italy. His role extends beyond traditional search functions, offering clients comprehensive leadership solutions.

Beginning his career in the executive search industry at the global leader Spencer Stuart, Lumir excelled in conducting C-suite searches across Central and Eastern Europe. During his nearly five years with the firm, he played a pivotal role in advancing the interests of clients in private equity, financial services, consulting, and industrial sectors. As Managing Partner, Lumir led operations in the Czech and Slovak markets, demonstrating his capability to drive strategic growth and foster leadership alignment.

Lumir’s professional journey also includes diverse board member roles, along with executive positions as Group CEO, COO, or CFO. Notably, he served as President at PPF in China, a prominent European investment group. In this capacity, Lumir also oversaw external relations of the portfolio company on the intricate Chinese market (headcount 100k+ employees), showcasing his adeptness in managing high-stakes negotiations and his deep understanding of diverse cultural landscapes.

His linguistic skills in Czech, English, and Mandarin, complemented by functional proficiency in French, German, and Russian, further empower Lumir to bridge cultural gaps. This allows him to offer clients a nuanced approach to executive search and leadership consulting.

A graduate with a master’s degree in Foreign Trade from the Prague University of Economics, Lumir later enhanced his expertise with an Executive MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. His academic and professional credentials are complemented by qualifications as a tax advisor and auditor.

Beyond his executive pursuits, Lumir is an avid sportsman, participating in the German tennis league Bundesliga in the 50+ category, and a creative writer with a published science fiction novel. His multifaceted persona reflects a blend of professional acumen and personal passions, making him a distinctive figure in the executive search domain.
