“Change is not only necessary – it is also possible,” states Eva Primus Kovandová, President of the non-profit organisation Business & Professional Women CR, which promotes women’s economic independence and equal representation in decision-making positions. “The gender pay gap stands at 17.9% in the Czech Republic, which places us at the very bottom of the European rankings. On a global scale, we rank behind countries such as Bangladesh. In our organisation, we believe that equal opportunities are not only a matter of fairness but also a key driver of innovation and greater efficiency.”
My name is Eva Primus Kovandová, and throughout my professional life, I have been dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs – both women and men – who have the courage to transform the world around them. I currently serve as the Director of the Executive Board Office at the Prague 1 Chamber of Commerce, and I also hold the position of the President of the non profit organisation Business & Professional Women CR. My work focuses on strategic development, cooperation with public administration, and organ ising professional events for the business community.
Thanks to my experience in the corporate environment, I adapt quickly to new situations and changes. My strong communication and presentation skills enable me to clearly convey ideas and inspire others. Public speaking comes naturally to me, and I am able to remain calm and decisive even in challenging moments.
I have also been a long term supporter of the Harmonie Endowment Fund, where I volunteer to help raise funds for its activities.
My passion lies in creating business opportunities that not only improve people’s lives but also contribute to sustainability. I believe in the power of collaboration, inspiration, and the courage to pursue unconventional goals.
