Bio
Sonja Rasuo
I was Tihomir's PA during a time of working in a very dynamic and very challenging environment (like the start of any joint venture). Knowing all the things on his agenda I was lucky with having a leader who invested time and patience to help me understand how corporate executives think, where the focus is, how conclusions are being drawn and why certain decisions are made. Mentorship and guidance comes naturally to him and it is a key part of his professional character. He didn't hesitate to "throw me in the fire" either when he was losing patience with any insecurities I may have had. After I would successfully fulfill his expectations, he would just mumble something like "There! Now moving on..". Most importantly, it was never a one way street, he always ensured I contributed with my own analyses, input and points of view. I could go on and on..
