Veronika Pizano
coach, tireless multitalent
It’s hard to put Veronika in a box. She’s a marketer, volunteer, teacher, blogger, and journalist — often all at once. What matters most is that she approaches everything she does with full commitment and joy.
She has served as Executive Director of IAB Slovakia and Marketing Manager at Piano Media and the magazine Týždeň. She currently works as a Project Manager at Aj Ty v IT. For six years, she taught at the Faculty of Mass Media Communication at UCM in Trnava.
Veronika has organised events such as Startup Weekend Bratislava and UniCamp and was part of the TEDxBratislava team for four years. She’s passionate about education — and about maternity care, on which she co-authored a book. She has also experienced coaching from the other side while preparing her own talk for TEDxTrenčín.
