Management Team
Our management team’s origins trace back to the year 2000 when Michal and Robert began working together as software developers at Siemens. Though their careers eventually took different paths, their strong friendship endured. In 2013, an opportunity to collaborate again arose through a public safety project in Slovakia and from the team that delivered that project, METIQ was founded. Over the years, Maria, Pavel, and Pavol joined the management team, contributing to the company’s growth and success.
