Areas of expertise and career experiences: In the last 9-10 years I mostly worked with manufacturing projects in different manufacturing companies (mostly automotive) – with product development and product launch projects.
I’ve been and I am a Project Manager in these projects, therefore I mainly see all the lifecycle of the project: starting with product development (RnD), prototype testing, failures – test repetitions, then we proceed to preparation for mass production (or general production) where we need to make sure we have needed equipment, which is working properly and is tested for the customer needs.
My main knowledge is within project management, but I was always keen going into details to understand it better, therefore I am familiar with organizational processes, manufacturing processes, product development, quality, audits etc.
I was later involved into ERP implementation project in big organization, therefore I have a knowledge of changes within big organizations and change management of software project.
Currently I work in relatively young company, therefore I am constantly involved in process improvements.
My main expertise: budget management, project management, change management, manufacturing engineering, new product development and launch.
My motivation/personal goal when participating in a mentoring program: My key motivation – personal growth and going out of the comfort zone. I always try to be self critical and I always believe that everything could have been done better.
I am not 100% sure how much I can help to a young person, but at the same time I know that I have quite interesting working experience and knowledge in my field, therefore I believe it would be a nice experience for both.
Hobbies and other information about me: I have two dogs: Lagotto Romangnolo and Westie. I like to jog, hike and active lifestyle overall. I love to travel.
