A practical link between two markets

International cooperation requires more than a referral — it needs clear communication, proper preparation, and an understanding of expectations on both sides.

IRSKO combines Czech roots with long-standing experience in Ireland. We help clients choose suitable programmes, prepare before arrival, and communicate effectively with partners throughout the process. For selected partners, we can also support early-stage market development in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

David Fiala

Founder & Managing Director

Born in the Czech Republic. More than 20 years living and working in Ireland.

David first experienced international exchange at 14, and by 16 had completed language programmes in Germany and England. These early experiences gave him the confidence and language skills that shaped his career.

He later studied in the USA, completed an Erasmus semester in Germany, and after graduating moved to Ireland at 25. Within three days he was offered a role at eBay, eventually leading international teams.

After a decade in Ireland working for eBay and Paddy Power, David founded IRSKO to help Czech and Slovak clients access the same life-changing educational opportunities abroad that had shaped his own journey.
