Jan Spousta
Prague, Czechoslovakia

Jan Spousta was on my original list of SPSS experts, but I couldn't work a trip to Prague into my already packed schedule. You will see in the profiles a number of references to Jan's expertise, so I include here a message from him.

Hi King,

Thank you for the invitation ( I am not sure, whether my spoken English is so good as to allow to present me using audio clips...). But if you will visit me and Prague in September, you are of course invited - I think that the experience of the beatiful city will pay for the time you will spend here in all cases.

My very short CV: I studied Mathematics (graduated 1991) and Sociology (1997). Then worked in a consultancy and marketing research company SC&C in Prague, and since 2003 I am with Ceska sporitelna bank in Prague as a Senior Analyst for Data Mining. Besides it I teach a course of advanced statistical analysis at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, Prague.

I can speak English, but I am better in writing it :-) We will surely understand one another. Regarding the six selected experts, I do not know much more about them than everyone can learn in SPSSX-L archives. My impression is, that they are not only SPSS experts, but also good people and good teachers, and this makes them so helpful to others.

Best regards

Jan
