Bio
Filip Šušulić LL.M. (Cantab)
I had a privilege to work on numerous projects with Kristijan and have attended a great number of social and business related events which Kristijan organized. What I have valued most about Kristijan is that he is a very talented and resourceful entrepreneur. His ability to adapt to different situations and his clients' needs is what makes him and his work so extraordinary. Kristijan smartly combines his incredible talent for positioning issues and communications skills with an extraordinary sense of strategy and timing. He is a kind of a person which makes things happen!
Igor Ciganović
I have worked on many projects with Kristijan. He is very resourceful, resilient and creative person. It is in our nature to dive head first in to new projects. Many times we bit more than we can chew and we were able to complete those projects thanks to Kristijan. I definitely plan on continuing my cooperation with Kristijan on future projects. He is fun person to be around and very professional when it comes to work.
