I worked with Toms for approximately one year, during this period Mr. Žunna showed great competency and gave very valuable investment in multiple strategic and tactical level objectives. Toms was a great colleague with distinct team feeling and used the experience he has in previous endeavours in the choice making and logics that were very useful in our cooperation. Would be happy to cooperate with him again!

I’m working in Tom’s team in Meditec. All I can say, that he is good leader, really leader, not boss. He always gives us clear instructions and make us think out of the box by motivating us every day, day to day. Tom makes us to think and work smarter not harder. He ensures joint ownership of goal setting, commitments, and accomplishments. Involves everyone on the team. Tom is allways aproachable and treats everybody fairly and respectfully. He is straigt and honest with us. Also he will never refuse help and gives good advices if needed. If we made a mistake, he takes all responebility, to protect his team. Ofcourse, we are trying to protect him too, by not making mistakes ... too often :) He is an exapmle for all of us. Gunita
