During my studding had parallel 10 years long very successful professional athlete (water polo) carrier (2x European club Champion etc.)

Business carrier started in ‘Ericsson’ (2000-2002) where was involved with various positions, from a software designer to project manager. In 2002 joint venture capital funded cable company ‘DCM’ in their start-up phase, where was appointed as Split Regional Director. Grew as a senior manager with a company and was promoted to Operational manager in 2004 and CEO in 2006. In a mean time DCM had majority ownership change (SEAF to SEEF/Bedminister). Company grew with both, organic growth and acquisition to become a largest cable operator in Croatia and in that short period it increased its value 4 times. During that period first broadband internet and cable voice was introduced. DCM was very successfully sold to BEWAG (Austrian utility holding) in 2007 in sales process led by CAIB. BEWAG also acquired a second largest cable operator Adriatic Cable and merged it to DCM which was rebranded in ‘B.net’, which continued to run as President of board/CEO.

Over 190 TV channels with biggest HD package together with VoD offer makes best video offer on Croatian market. Led B.net as CEO through another sales process which was led by City Bank but postponed due to financial crises (the process was in autumn 2008).
