From Netflix to grocery retail technology: David Pavlík joins Rohlik Group as Chief Technology Officer

European e-commerce grocery delivery firm, Rohlik Group, reports that David Pavlík will become its new Chief Technology Officer on 1st June, replacing Ondřej Klamt, who has decided to go on sabbatical after more than eight years in the role.

Pavlík has a background at companies like Netflix, SpaceX, Amazon, and has experience as Chief Technology Officer from his time at ShipMonk and Nano Energies.

“David's arrival is critical to our next phase of growth. His experience and approach are exactly what the Rohlik Group needs for further technological development,” comments Tomáš Čupr, CEO and Founder at Rohlík.

“At the same time, I would like to express my enormous gratitude to Ondrej for his excellent work with us. His contribution to our success has been enormous and he has left behind a strong legacy that we will build on.”

Pavlík comments: “I couldn't resist the opportunity to join Rohlik. I've seen Rohlik as a great Czech heritage for a long time and it's a great honour to be part of such a great team and to help with its further growth.”

“The opportunity that has been presented to me is huge and I think we are just at the beginning." 

"Making this decision was incredibly tough," Ondřej says,

"It was an extremely difficult decision for me, as I can honestly say that I love Rohlik and the experiences I have had here are irreplaceable. Nevertheless, I have reached a point where it is necessary to pass the ball to someone else. I will use that time to recharge and spend more time with my family.”

“I would like to express my gratitude to Tomáš Čupr. He did not only understand my decision but was also extremely supportive.“
