13b Tomas

Tomas KotynekPresident

As President of Thompson Metal Fab, Tomas relies on the performance of his team. One of Tomas’ many responsibilities is to help create an environment where everyone can perform their best.

Tomas is also in charge of global budgets, conflict resolution, and managing contracts and claims, among other management-level responsibilities. An employee since 2015, Tomas’ growing institutional knowledge dovetails nicely with his Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

“Our work is very dynamic and variable; we do not do same things over and over, and hence – willingly or unwillingly – we are forced to learn daily and flexibly apply existing or new approaches to the projects we do,” says Tomas. “Through connection of theoretical and practical approaches we build challenging and cool structures in an industry that is extremely competitive.”

Tomas grew up in Prague, which has a very rich cultural and historical heritage, including the 1989 revolution that brought parliamentary democracy and the return of freedoms such as education, art, religion, and free speech. These cultural shifts brought an incredible sense of appreciation to Tomas, and he made strides in educating himself and pursuing his dreams.

Tomas played ice hockey for nearly 20 years, and attributes his sense of teamwork and persistency to his years spent on the ice. He still loves to stay active through cycling and skiing. Family and outdoor time are important to Tomas and give him a chance to reset and unwind.
