About

The problem? Telecom can be complex. The solution? Lead with clarity, empower people, and design from the customer’s point of view. At every stage of my career - from prepaid innovation in Serbia to commercial transformation in Denmark to revitalizing Slovak Telekom’s B2C offer - I’ve seen that progress starts with clarity: a sharp strategy, clear roles, and a shared belief in purpose. Today, I lead B2C Commercial Growth across Deutsche Telekom’s European markets. I’m responsible for cross-market coordination, best practice scaling, and building growth strategies that work in-market and on the balance sheet. And while numbers matter, I never lose sight of what we’re really here to do: connect people with everything that matters in their lives - without leaving anyone behind. That’s what drives me. My leadership principles: Empower people and let them lead Set high expectations - and keep them strict but fair Say what needs to be said, not what’s expected I don’t believe in buzzwords. I believe in leadership that delivers - and in a brand that won’t stop until everyone is connected.
