Great Team

Hi, my name is Helena Peschova and I’m a team manager. I started my career at DHL IT Services back in 2005, when I took a role as Domain Coordinator in the Transportation Domain team. Gaining more hands-on experience with software licensing has always fascinated me, so I moved to the License Management team in 2009. In 2024, I moved to a management role, being a Software Vendor Manager. Together with the strong support of a multinational & diverse team, we are working on our common ambition – Software Vendor Management and Software Asset Management. Looking forward to having you onboard!
