PPF Group’s chief of public and government affairs, Vladimír Mlynář is to step down from his role on 31 December 2023.

Mlynář who has worked at the Czech investment outfit for over a decade, will continue to work with PPF Group as an external advisor on selected projects.

During his tenure at the company, Mlynar was responsible for PPF Group’s external relations and was one of Petr Kellner’s close associates, according to the company.

Prior to joining PPF in 2010, the chief worked as a journalist, repeatedly served as a minister, a member of parliament and as a chief advisor to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic.

Commenting on his departure, Mlynář said: “Working at PPF has been the most exciting thing I have ever done professionally. The opportunity to work with Petr Kellner was especially a truly exceptional life experience. I have met great people at PPF, learned and understood a lot, which is why I spent by far the longest part of my working life here. I am very grateful for that, but now it is time for new challenges in my life.”

PPF Group CEO Jiří Šmejc added: “We’ve been meeting Vladimir for more than ten years on various PPF Group projects. Working with him has always been professional and very rewarding from a human point of view. I thank him very much for everything he has done for the Group over the years.”
