Her first job was at an IT and management consulting firm, where she gained extensive IT consulting experience and in 2009 – after reaching senior, then managerial level – she became a partner.
In 2015, she decided to change and joined the INITON team. Her strategic goal: to build and continuously develop a company consisting of an extraordinary team that provides outstanding solutions on the domestic and international IT market, where the employees find joy in their work and are constantly building and profiting from it.
