Interior design and entrepreneurship, team leadership and managementand personal growth of individuals in a team have been in the focus of my career so far. I have lived and worked in three countries on two continents. Creation is my keyword but always in connection with effective performance, profitability and successful people management. I stand for discipline, concentrate on results and promote clear communication and strategic thinking. I am rational, flexible and responsible. I believe that my undeniable experience as a project leader and team manager would be applicable in any industry and line of work where my skills, values and competences could contribute to achieving greater results and added value.‘’ Natasa is focused and she is a hard worker. She is a good in time management because she can clearly see what is and what is not important in the moment. She is straightforward and very direct in communication. She shares her knowledge and experience. Stands for her colleagues, their ideas and engagement. She is able to see potential in other people. She is brave.”
