At Shop Circle, I manage daily operations for a team of 110–170 employees, improving overall productivity by 20–30%. I also develop operational policies, processes, and performance KPIs, and oversee planning and execution for corporate conferences and high-profile meetings.

At HulkApps, I coordinated strategic office initiatives and cross-functional projects, including the renovation and relocation of a 2,500 sqm office building in Sarajevo. Earlier, I managed advertising campaigns for Europlakat BH across over 1,500 locations and increased sales by 18% yearly at Creative Halo.
