Karolína Peake (born 10 October 1975), née Kvačková, is a

Deputy Prime Minister of the Czech Republic
from 2011 to 2013.

Career

She was a member of the

Baker & McKenzie. She gave birth to her sons Sebastian, and Theodor, with whom she took five years parental leave. Thereafter, she began to be involved in local politics, including campaigns to save a local park and to extend local children's playgrounds. In 2006, she was elected to the town council of Prague 1
for Public Affairs.

Peake was elected to the

LIDEM, which means "for the people" in Czech, and is also based on the first letters of "Liberal Democrats".[2] She was appointed Minister of Defense in December 2012, but was dismissed by Prime Minister Petr Nečas eight days later, due to criticism of her rapid replacement of ministry deputies.[3]

Peake is a member of the Prague Society for International Cooperation, an NGO which aims to create connections between future leaders and public figures.[4]
