One on One Václav Novák: a man for managing a crisis
Václav Novák is a crisis manager. And with the ongoing economic crisis following on the heels of the financial crisis, things have been pretty busy for him. He has been in the headlines a lot recently after being bombarded into a top position at state-controlled carrier Czech Airlines (ČSA) and then suddenly stepping down. But he has a long line of Czech companies that he has pulled back from the brink, including steel making giant Vítkovice. I met him in his central Prague office and asked him if he was surprised by the government decision not to go ahead with a sale of Czech Airlines to the sole bidder.
