Biography

"I started my career at Dukat Croatia in March 1999 after graduating from the University of Zagreb with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My professional ambitions at the time were focused on organisational psychology. With this background, to begin my career as an intern in the HR department of a flourishing company was an opportunity I had to grab! During the ensuing five and a half years, I worked in all key HR fields and participated in a number of cross-department projects, which made me work with other departments, such as, marketing, sales, supply chain, finance or even administration.  My desire to work in another department plus the resources gained from in-house training enabled me to apply for a marketing job at Dukat. I went on to become brand manager of Ultra Fresh Dukat. Assuming this new position was very stimulating. I recommend it to everyone, and especially young professionals, to try and go beyond their field of speciality at some point in their careers. These experiences can really challenge the limits we subconsciously set for ourselves, and enhance personal and professional growth. The Lactalis Group later acquired the company in 2007, and by then I had become Senior Brand Manager. I have been offered the Country Manager position in Slovenia, where I am in charge of Dukat’s sales activities on the Slovenian market for the next three years. In my current position, I am in charge of exports and related projects.  The main goal behind working on inter-departmental projects is to encourage the sharing of ideas and concepts regarding the Group’s flagship products, with the aim of building on our strengths in our markets."
