Bio
Muhammad Kori
Marijan has many great qualities, but I’d like to highlight a few that stood out during the 18 months we worked together. He provided me with tremendous support and made sure I had all I needed to be able to perform and excel after joining the team. He is a great mentor and is honest, direct and frequent with useful and actionable feedback. He is a clear communicator and doesn’t shy away from difficult conversations. He has a good eye for design, is objective when giving feedback and always an advocate for the users (we build our products for. In the time we worked together, he led the development of a complex payment product. At all times, he looked out for the users of the product and the team. He is great at pulling and keeping the team together, towards a shared goal. He is able to play into our individual strengths and at the same time bringing focus within the team on what matters. He’s quick in identifying opportunities and challenges for the team and the team members (he’s an excellent 2nd order thinker). He cares and is genuine when providing support and assistance. He continues to be a good collaborator, open to feedback and encourages learning. He cares. I truly value his support and dedication and would highly recommend him.

Marijan was my manager for 9 months at Booking.com. He is reliable and capable of handling many responsibilities. During our time together, he oversaw a complex launch of a new product, managing two teams, while also helping with design work on the side. As a manager, Marijan took good care of his team members. He was there for us, gave honest feedback and genuinely listened to what we had to say. His no-nonsense attitude is refreshing and inspires trust. I really enjoyed working with him, and would love to do so again.
