He recognized the growth potential of software and technology companies in the early 2000s, which helped him with his successful investment in AVG (now Avast).[2] The company then reached a valuation of almost 900 million dollars with its IPO (Initial Public Offering) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 2012.[3] The value of the company further increased before it was bought by Avast in 2016 for 1.3 billion dollars.[4]
Since 2005, Jakúbek has served as a private equity specialist at Enterprise Investors, where he has been involved in +50 investments and accretive acquisitions.[5] For example, the Czech company Kofola increased its market share by more than 25%[6] and on the Warsaw and Prague Stock Exchanges valued the company at almost 500 million dollars.[7]
After a career in private equity, he moved to Group's Chief Corporate Development Officer in 2017 and later to the Chief Strategy Officer role at W.A.G. payment solutions, a technology company (EUROWAG)[8] [9] in 2021. During this period, the company made accretive acquisitions of several tech companies such as Inelo[10], Last Mile Solutions[11], JitPay[12] and Sygic.[13] EUROWAG achieved a valuation of more than $1.2 billion (£1.03 billion) in 2021.[14] The company later became a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.[15]
