What’s New: May 2019

The most visible development of the past month was a change of the guard in the CEO position at Bonami. For more information about David Šiška’s move from Bonami to Miton and Pavel Vopařil’s move in the opposite direction, read the following text on our website.

Twisto experienced a big shift in their shareholder make-up after raising 11.5 million Euro in their latest investment round. Miton has remained a Twisto shareholder and we look forward to spending many more social evenings together.

You’ve probably already met Michal Makoš and Hynek Husník from Reas at one of our joint events. In May we officially welcomed Reas into the Miton family – see the press release. We’re glad to have Reas on board.

Nominations are currently open for this year’s Deloitte Technology Fast 50 competition, which recognises fast-growing technology firms.
