LITS Global team • JanKrahulik is the kind of person always looking for a deeper purpose in whatever he’s working on. During his studies at the University of Economics in Prague, he was fully dedicated to building up the world’s largest youth-run organization (both on local and national level), volunteered in Indonesia and invested significant amount of time in exploring possibilities of how business can be pursued both sustainably and efficiently. • Marek Beran had the opportunity to interact with many people from different parts of the world and with very various socioeconomic backgrounds. Those encounters made him realize the large differences in living standards of people around the world and helped him understand the challenges and issues connected with it. He sees LITS as a platform for top talents regardless their origin, status, education or financial background, to get together and build something meaningful as a team. • VeronikaLosova wanted to make the world a better place since her early age - without injustice, intolerance and empty words. She dreamed of becoming a politician or a lawyer. Later on she became passionate about acquiring a more international perspective, went to study business and kept looking for different opportunities to make her dreams come true. • Zdenek Fred Foustraveled through more than 40 countries around the globe. During his travels far away he kept meeting exceptional local people – talented and friendly individuals committed to ensuring a good-quality life for themselves and their families in the often uneasy living conditions. Seeing the great obstacles they were facing and at the same time realizing how little is actually needed to empower them to overcome those obstacles, led him to start thinking about sustainable solutions to those problems.
