Great Team

Hello, I’m Zdenek, Architecture Direction at DHL Information Services. My journey with DHL began over 10 years ago when I started as a Network Engineer, supporting and maintaining the infrastructure within our global data centers. Over the years, my role has evolved in line with the company’s growth and technological transformation.

For more than two years now, I’ve been leading our global network architecture function, which is currently expanding into a team of six highly skilled professionals. Together, we are responsible for shaping and overseeing the design and direction of network and network security services across the organization. This includes a broad range of technologies such as SDWAN, LAN, WLAN, Network Access Control (NAC), MPLS backbone, Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), and many others critical to our global operations.

As part of our role, we focus not only on technical excellence but also on ensuring that our network services deliver real business value. We work closely with internal teams and external partners to ensure the quality, scalability, and security of our infrastructure meets the highest standards—regardless of whether services are delivered internally or via suppliers.

My passion lies in translating complex network architectures into strategic solutions that support DHL’s business goals. I’m proud of the collaborative, innovative culture we've built in the team, and I look forward to welcoming you into an environment where technical depth, teamwork, and continuous improvement drive everything we do.
