Tomáš Studeník (*1976) is a radical innovator and urban hacker. Tomas helps global companies such as ŠKODA AUTO, Novartis or ABB awake their innovative potential and seek new opportunities in the post-digital era. He holds MBA from the University of Liverpool and MSc in Innovation from HEC in Paris. He completed management courses at INSEAD in France and the University of Cambridge in the UK. He is the CEO of management consultancy Insane Business Ideas as well as the creative director of Confidence Digital.

In addition to organizing FuckUp Nights in Prague and other major cities in the Czech Republic, Tomáš organizes CEE Hacks innovative marathons, where hackers and students from around the world solve problems in transport, energy, healthcare and social innovations.

In the past, Tomáš has launched several unsuccessful startups, including the Life after Life (Život po životě). In 2017 he co-founded the Church Ecclesia Risorum and, as expected, everyone had a great laugh.

In Autumn 2018, Tomáš published with Jan Melvil publishing house the Great Book of Fuckups, where he had collected over forty failure stories from Czech business, culture and life in general. Tomáš was nominated for Esquireman 2019 award.
