GENERAL

Q: What do you love about your job the most?

I love the people. In our business people matter the most – different yet equal, here and anywhere else in the world. I love representing my city, being one step ahead of challenges and at the same time preserving the core value of Dubrovnik city. I like hearing foreign languages in the city and when I hear that the city exceeded their expectations.

Q: Where do you see the biggest opportunity in marketing and MICE industry?

In facilitating relationships and connections by creating inviting and inspiring environments.

Q: How do you deal with marketing jungle on daily basis?

There are so many opportunities, you just need to look around. Culture and historical heritage have indispensable value, there is a combination of modern and traditional and at the same time, Dubrovnik is a lifestyle destination. Recently Dubrovnik is going through an exciting area with being King’s landing one day, Star wars galaxy on another day and a city that Robin Hood visits on the next day.

Q: How did the best events you attended so far make you feel?

Every day is a good day and we’re going further with a lot of positive energy.

PERSONAL – BACKGROUND

Personally nothing special. Maybe I would have some advice for the others.

Q: If you could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead), who would you have dinner with and why?

When I manage to escape the jungle an evening in the private circle is the most comfortable.
