About Monika

My career journey started in one of the largest IT companies in Budapest, Hungary, and continued in London UK, followed by Belgrade, Serbia.

Diversity of the companies, people and cultures is the zest of my experience. As a psychologist, throughout my career, I have always been curious to observe the ways people cope, adjust, and internalize their working environment. It varies from industry to industry.

Over two decades, I have had the opportunities to learn, explore, and support people and systems in diverse corporate contexts.

It has been (and still is) a journey based on mutual trust, constant learning, and exchange of experience.

Testimonials

Jasmina Koprivica, Head of Digital – Blic.rs/General Manager – Internet Group, Former Head of Digital B92.net

“Monika is an amazing professional, and I had great luck to work with her in Antenna Group in Belgrade for several years. As director of HR department in Greek owned large media corporation, Monika managed very difficult merge of two different media companies into one (Prva and B92), where her skills in harmonization of people, job positions, scale of business in each sector, salary preferences and people’s management brilliantly helped company’s management to go through the process of merging smoothly.
While working as Director of Digital department in Antenna Group, I had a privilege to work closely with Monika and to learn many valuable techniques for team building and development, good news-desk organization, and problem solving in difficult times.
Working with Monika was a rare opportunity for me to come across a self-driven protector with teamwork spirit.
Monika is very innovative in work, very profound and person with great mind and great heart. She made huge impact on the members of her team but also on all employees that very often seek for her advice and guidance in professional work.
Her knowledge and experience in psychology, HR, business consulting, company couching is on the highest level among professionals in Serbia and Monika would be a valuable asset to institutions that would hire her services.”

Ivana Minić, Partner and COO at The Search Group (Global) Limited

“It has been a pleasure working with Monika during the six months she spent as a consultant with The Search Group. She came highly recommended due to her time spent in large corporations and her background in psychology. At TSG, she has successfully assisted and guided top management through a restructuring process, necessary for future growth and sustainability. As the person responsible for the restructuring, I found Monika’s advice valuable and well-placed. Her deep understanding of how different organizations operate coupled with her positive attitude towards work resulted in positive outcomes for The Search Group and its team members.”

Jovana Tomić, Senior Partner at CT Legal

“Monika is a brilliant and gifted HR Consultant who really understands how to get the best out of people!”

Ana Popović, Post Production / Rights&Clearances Manager, VICE Serbia

“At this moment I’m in the transition process from a small, local to a regional office. Monika coached me for interviews, how to make a great first impression, how to point out skills, overcome stage fright, build confidence, negotiate and secure a better salary package. She also has extensive experience in local and international labor laws and procedures. With her guidance and by following her instructions, you can go smoothly and easily through a long and stressful procedure. Monika is an empathic listener with patience and a great sense of humor.”

Zoran Baranac
Business Director, Nova communications media buying company,
Former News Director and Director of Corporate affairs of Antenna Group Serbia (Prva TV & RDP B92)

“As Director of News and after Director of Corporate affairs of Antenna Group Serbia, I had a very close and productive cooperation with Monika during this period of time in various scale of business. She had a very challenging and specific role in a delicate business process of merging companies.

Monika is articulate and hardworking professional. Her enthusiasm for the work comes through in all she does. She has positive attitude that makes her a pleasure to work with.

As a strong, structured and balanced person, she was a real HR Director for all departments and Group overall. From a very personal perspective, I have to emphasize, that Monika is one of the best and most competent colleagues I’ve ever had in my professional life.”
