Martin Frývaldský
CEO
One of the few people in the team who doesn’t come from a video-game background, Martin brings to Warhorse Studios essential know-how in dealing with the nuts and bolts of large-scale enterprises, for example as CEO of one of the largest European rail freight service providers with a fleet of 6,000 wagons and 150 locomotives. His work as a financial consultant on numerous mergers and acquisitions has also proved invaluable to Warhorse, where he has succumbed to both the satisfaction and challenges of creating games.
Martin Klíma
Executive Producer
Martin’s passion for gaming led him to create the legendary role-playing board game Dragon’s Lair, making him one of the founders of the Czech gaming industry. In 1997 he established the development studio ALTAR Interactive, which he led as producer and studio manager. In 1998 he published the very first Czech game to be distributed internationally, Fish Fillets, and three years later the real-time game Original War. ALTAR went on to publish the UFO Trilogy: Aftermath, Aftershock and Afterlight. Martin later worked as producer at Codemasters on the game Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.
Daniel Vávra
Creative Director
Dan began as a graphic artist working on 2D games for 16-bit computers and was behind the birth of the worldwide successful Mafia series. Dan is the key visionary of Warhorse Studios and the creator, director and chief designer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, whose stubborn commitment to his brainchild kept development forging forward through more than one obstacle. He has left his mark on games that in all have sold more than 8 million copies, underlining his unerring instinct for what gamers want.

In his spare time Viktor creates games for 'small' platforms, Nintendo DS, XBLA, iPhone etc.
Tobias Stolz-Zwilling
PR Manager
Tobias moved from Germany to Prague in 2012 to finish his Master Studies. After working as a journalist, Tobi ironically found himself living right next door to Daniel Vávra, the Creative Director at Warhorse Studios. This was the moment when he decided to jump on the Kingdom Come: Deliverance bandwagon. Tobias joined Warhorse Studios in June 2014 as Community Manager and worked his way up to become the international PR Manager and one of the main faces and voices of Warhorse Studios.
