About Us
Our story starts at the University
The founder of OPIM is Jana Tikalová who has been devoted to DEI over 25 years. Her story began with her summer job in London when she was sixteen. She understood the importance of transferring her belief that offering equal opportunities to everybody is not only morally right thing to do, but it also brings lots of advantages. Jana founded OPIM during her anthropology studies at the age of twentytwo, and became a member of the Council fo Europe training platform for D&I and human rights.

What diversity brings to an organisation in terms of business numbers is important, but more important is a genuine interest in giving all people equal opportunities and a belief in respecting differences.
Why Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity brings more creativity, innovation and opens doors to new opportunities, customers, clients and business partners. But the key is a functioning inclusive company culture.
