COO

Hello,
my name is Josef Bešta and I work as COO at 2N. One of the fields I oversee is Procurement and Logistics. We’re always growing and developing here at 2N, which means we face new challenges and demands every day. Our ambition is to be market leaders in the intercom field, and the quick development of the market, as well as a rapidly changing world around us means this is no easy feat.
Our growth as a company in these uncertain times wouldn’t be possible without new people - so if you want to start developing direct and indirect purchases, as well as help move 2N purchases to the next stage of growth, do not hesitate to contact me and make an appointment. I am looking forward to an inspirational meeting!
