TESTIMONIALS

What my clients are saying

“Marija has helped us tremendously on our scaling journey. Being in a niche deeptech sector like ours presents unique challenges and Marija provided much needed support to us. Working together with our internal team, her invaluable contributions extended from shaping newcomers' onboarding experiences to designing and operationalising our culture, which is very people-centred. In addition, Marija's insights and coaching significantly enhanced the alignment between our managers' visions and their leadership styles within the company expectations. I would recommend Marija to any company seeking a quantum leap in their approach to internal processes, attracting niche talent, leadership development, and overall company culture.” 

— Marta Pascual Estarellas, CEO Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech

“ As the CEO of Veact, I have had the privilege of working closely with Marija and have witnessed firsthand her outstanding capabilities in driving change transformation and fostering a performance-driven workplace culture. Her leadership skills, strategic vision and innovative HR approach have played a pivotal role in spearheading various initiatives that have significantly enhanced our company's operational efficiency and overall top-line performance. One of Marija's key strengths lies in their ability to cultivate a dynamic and results-oriented workplace culture and inspiring team members to excel, setting high performance standards, and fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment. “

Sunny Mehta, CEO Veact (B2B SaaS, former Google)

“After our significant Seed round, Marija provided great support to us on many People-related topics on both strategic and operational level. She immediately understood what needs to be done and then executed to a very high standard over a few months. More specifically, she helped us define our culture and values as well as our recruitment and feedback processes. She also helped us with all HR-related topics and effectively was an outsourced HR partner for us. I would highly recommend Marija as a fractional and progressive People leader.”

— Kevin Berghoff, CEO Quantum Diamonds

“We started working with Marija right after our Series A. We knew we needed to start building a HR function fit for our scaling journey and we wanted someone who has scaled multiple times to help us right away while we were looking for a permanent Head of People, which Marija helped us with. Her expertise in scaling start-ups as well as comprehensive HR knowledge was evident from day 1. Her support on a number of key topics such as recruitment, leadership development and founder coaching, and building a performance-based company culture has been vital to our growth. We appreciated tremendously her empathetic approach and ability to understand our needs while at the same time challenging the status quo constructively in the best interest of the company.”
