“We would like to thank Jaroslav Musil for his loyalty and significant contribution to Mitas brand recognition, and we wish him the best of luck,” said Jaroslav Čechura, Mitas CEO.
“Milan Šindelář has broad experience in the tyre industry and a perfect knowledge of the Mitas product portfolio. I am convinced that, thanks to Milan´s efforts, we will grow stronger on global markets,” Čechura added.
Šindelář´s tasks will be to take the sales and marketing of radial agriculture and OTR tyres specifically to an entirely new level. He will focus on countries with strong growth potential in Central and South-eastern Europe such as Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Among non-European countries, Šindelář will focus on the markets of Brazil, Sub-Saharan Africa and Australia.
Šindelář began his career in 1998 at Goodyear, where he spent eight years and worked up to the position of sales director of truck tyres for Central and Eastern Europe. After two years managing Carling, the Czech leader in truck tyre distribution and retreading, he became head of the sales and marketing management consulting unit at Deloitte Advisory. In 2011, he returned to the tyre industry joining Mitas as an OE key account manager for North America and helped Mitas in its expansion in the USA and Canada.
Šindelář (42) graduated from polymers at the Institute of Chemical Technology (VŠCHT) in Prague. He is married, has two children and is keen on sport, particularly windsurfing. In winter, he enjoys skiing and mountain biking in the summer. He lives in Třebotov, near Prague.
