Karolína Topolová celebrates ten years at the head of AURES, seeing turnover almost triple

Prague, 15 November 2022 - In autumn 2012, the General Meeting of AAA AUTO confirmed Karolína Topolová as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. With this change, the company began the steps leading to its later sale to Abris Capital Partners and the change of its name to AURES Holdings. Topolová was there at the birth of the group's new strategy of significantly strengthening its customer orientation. The company modernized its branches and bet on the development of additional services and computerization. It successfully relaunched the Mototechna brand, which celebrates ten years of successful operation this year, and concentrated new car sales, its fastest growing segment, under this brand. These changes were followed in 2014 by the successful sale of a majority stake to AURES Holdings for a value in excess of CZK 6 billion. The biggest milestones in Topolova's successful tenure as Group CEO in recent years have been the rapid transition to online sales of used cars in the era of covid lockdowns and the expansion of the new Driverama brand in Germany. This year, under Topolová's leadership, AURES also celebrated 30 years of successful operation on the market.
