Alan Žunić - COTRUGLI

“Working, brainstorming and making decisions in teams made of individuals with different backgrounds was challenging, yet I loved this part the most!”

Prior to my decision to join COTRUGLI’s Executive MBA program I have been working in Human Resources for many years, taking part in lots of educational programs due to my constant need of developing my knowledge, skills and competencies. At a particular moment of my career I was reaching out for a program that would help me gain leverage in overall business areas, combining Strategic decision making, Finance, Accounting, Operations management, Marketing, Sales and many more – all in one specific Program. 

Here came COTRUGLI and its Executive MBA program into the picture. The program offered world class lectures at the leading business school in south east Europe and it was a unique opportunity to gain an overall business understanding. 

The program was a two years intensive journey and a challenge in managing the balance between family, work and school. Looking back at those times I can only say it was all worth it. During that two years I have learned a lot about the business and myself. Taking part in numerous modules helped me to gain valuable insights of specific areas they covered. Working, brainstorming and making decisions in teams made of individuals with different backgrounds was challenging, yet I loved this part the most! Today I can say that I have a significant better understanding of the interdependencies between business areas and how my role can contribute to align them. 

At last, I have made friends for life. We were working hard but also had a huge amount of fun. One of huge the benefits is that I am now a member of COTRUGLI family, a place where you have a network of intelligent and successful people which support each other. When we get together it’s like being among friends and I am proud to have the privilege to call myself a COTRUGLI!
