My recent project which lasted for 5 and half years was about creating and developing brand Karibu Kaaawa (the brand is successfully sold). It’s the first and only brand that offers different types of specialty coffee in Croatia. It's well known for the innovative concept of coffee subscription model and cooperation with micro and small entrepreneurs within EU. Entire business consisted of several aspects: • daily management of the coffeeshop; • development and management of the web shop (handling orders of single products and subscription model; development of new services and products; web development and daily maintenance of web shop); • B2B deals with different companies regarding event organization and development of business gifts for different occasions. Before this project I worked as a consultant (in a big 4 company) and project manager (at a university) in the area of EU grants for entrepreneurs and universities:• Extensive knowledge of EU project cycle management, practical knowledge of the EC PRAG: designing and drafting project / tender documentation (project fiche; Terms of Reference, logical framework; budgets; grant scheme dossiers); • Proven track-record in writing and management of IPA projects in the area of SMEs, entrepreneurship, education, IT and research and development;• Proven analytical, evaluation and research skills gained through working experiences in different projects within the context of the EU pre-accession strategy and relevant EU structural programmes, most notably IPA 2007-2013 (Component IV and Component IIIc)• Very good knowledge and proven skills in analysing EU policies / strategic documents / relevant programmes, evaluations and studies in the aforementioned fields;• Proven experience in carrying out thematic evaluations;• Very good working knowledge of the EU Community Programme in the fields of education & training (Lifelong Learning Programme – sub-programmes Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Grundtvig) and direct experience in development and implementation of relevant university-based projects/innovations in line with the best-practice examples at the EU level;• Knowledge of Croatian process of adjustment to the obligations in the pre-accession and post accession phases to the EU.
