I’m the lever that finally gets things moving.

I bring solutions when business owners run out of ideas or bandwidth. I help move your company forward—whether that means implementing new systems, changing direction, or putting long-delayed plans into action. In my work, I combine an empathetic approach with design thinking and hard-nosed business strategy.

Jan Koudela: business consultant for owners who dare to make a change Planning a business strategy Business strategy mentoring At a business strategy consulting session with clients Startup Weekend session Running a workshop

HOW I CAN HELP

  • One-on-one support for entrepreneurs, executives, and managers (1 hour) — We all have blind spots, and you're no exception. I'll shine a light on yours. Don't expect me to applaud you; expect honest pushback.
  • Facilitating group sessions, running meetings, and providing team supervision (1 day) — Unproductive meetings are among the biggest drains on time and money. I'll make sure the whole team is pulling in the same direction.
  • Interim management—temporary leadership of teams and projects (1 project) — Is a critical project in crisis, or has the person it depended on left? I'll jump in midstream and keep everything running.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Streamlined business processes — assessing the current situation and putting an effective system in place
  • Strategy put into action — turning plans into tangible results
  • Effective incentive systems — designing a compensation model that works
  • Reignited business growth — bringing new energy to stalled projects
  • Clear direction — setting goals and a realistic path to achieving them
  • Structured development — removing obstacles that stand in the way of growth

HOW I WORK

I'm not an expert in just one narrow field—my strength is a broad perspective across many disciplines. I also combine analytical thinking with hands-on experience. That allows me to find solutions where others see only obstacles. I see every project through to successful completion—I'm not the kind of consultant who simply hands over recommendations and disappears.

I DELIVER THE MOST VALUE TO COMPANIES THAT:

  • Have 50 employees or fewer
  • Allow me to work directly with the owner
  • Operate in the digital space or provide B2B services
  • Are ready for real change

EXPERIENCE

I spent many years as a Business Designer at Court of Moravia, where I led transformation projects for a wide range of organizations. I also gained valuable experience as a mentor at CzechInvest, the Czech government's business and investment development agency, where I helped early-stage companies grow.

I'm also a certified Freelo Partner (Freelo is a Czech project management tool). Since 2026, I've been a psychotherapist in training through Gestalt Praha's training program, accredited by the Czech Association for Psychotherapy.

SELECTED CLIENTS

  • E-commerce — top-obaly.cz, imago.cz, udelejsiplacku.cz, lifefood.cz, cistytriko.cz
  • B2B and agencies — Atreo Digital, Steezy, Juicymo, and Dactyl Group

Firsthand recommendations

Jan Koudela is a solid, open minded and experienced professional, who helped our small company to set up scrum processes according to our needs. But that is not where he ended up. He also helped us with the evaluation over time and further personal development of our team. I really appreciate his help, commitment, drive and friendly and positive approach. Great experience!

Roman Zigo HR Lead at SalesChamp

I really appreciated the workshop about marketing strategy provided by Jan. He has a lot of useful insights and he can ask the right questions. As follow-up he designed an online campaign with optimal costs. Based on this experience I could recommend him for his professional, supportive and well organized work.
