Pavel Řehák studied International Relations at the University of Economics in Prague and received his MBA at Northwestern University. He previously worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company for seven years, then worked as an advisor to Česká pojišťovna, where he eventually joined and worked for seven years, of which three years as CEO. In 2013, he left Česká pojišťovna and founded the investment company VIGO Investments with former colleagues from McKinsey.
