I have been working in the forwarding and logistics industry for 15 years, and am now a Sea Operation Manager and Commercial Management Assistant for the Gebrüder Weiss branch in Hong Kong. I always have a few proverbs on hand to motivate me when the going gets tough, like “磨杵成”. Literally translated this means “Endurance grinds the steel beam into a needle.”

"I studied architecture, which involves a mixture of art and science. Today I'm a Facility Manager at Gebrüder Weiss in Dobanovci, a suburb of Belgrade. Designing rooms and other spaces is relevant to that as well. By maintaining buildings to the best of my ability, I try to create the best possible working conditions for our employees."
