I had a great pleasure to work with Marija as her business partner and on many interesting projects. In 2021 when Marija was working as the Medical Manager for all Baltic countries we have successfully implemented VEEVA CRM and leaded together a great change management project for the Medical Team. In the next year, after Marija was appointed on the position of Baltic Countries Commercial and Medical Manager we have leaded together a change management project for the Sales team. Thanks to the implementation of IBM Planning Analytics the Sales Teams in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have started to plan the sales in the P&L view and with full visibility on the product level. In our whole cooperation Marija has been known as a strong leader with great team management skills that drive the success and achievement. Due to her experience in various fields she has holistic view which allows her to make right strategic decisions. Moreover I would like to emphasise that she fosters the service attitude and always asks "What I can do more?" and "What I can do better?". With the full confidence I recommend the cooperation with Marija!

Marija was my direct manager at Red Bull Baltics in her role as Baltic brand manager. Marija is an amazing manager who is able to recognize and grow individual talent both in the areas where she excels (strategy, leadership) as well as in domains where she relies on her team to deliver (operational, tactical execution). She is data driven with good business judgement, fair and ready to go an extra mile for her team. She supported me both during my professional growth at Red Bull teaching the basics of brand management as well as beyond providing career advice. I strongly recommend her for brand management and business development or go-to market roles.
