Eva_Kotrus.jpgEva Kotrus is a holder of an M.B.A. degree in General Management and a Bachelor’s degree from English speaking Seattle-based City University of Seattle. For 8 years she had worked for IBM in different professional settings. Today she works as an independent HR consultant. She believes that in order to make a difference to the world, we need to be able to see the “big picture” of our own day-to-day activities. She likes to understand how her actions affect others, the environment and the future. Among many things she would like to see changed is a long-term government support for the use of alternative energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines for business and private use. She thinks that carbon use could be reduced by offering incentives on the purchase of hybrid cars today, and making progress in introducing electro cars in the near future. She would like to make a contribution to increasing awareness in Slovakia, both in private and public sectors.
