The Experience of Jadranka Boban Pejić, CEO of Biovega
In a time when sustainability and a healthy lifestyle are becoming the foundation of modern business, continuous development of skills and knowledge is key to successfully running a company. Jadranka Boban Pejić, CEO of leading organic food company Biovega, improved her managerial and leadership skills through the COTRUGLI EMBA program and acquired new tools for managing a growing business while maintaining a focus on the values of sustainability and quality of life.
From self-taught entrepreneur to sustainable business leader
As Biovega grew from a small company to a medium-sized enterprise, Jadranka’s responsibilities increased.
“I was a ‘self-taught’ entrepreneur and manager, so I felt the need to check where I was, what I was doing well, what I needed to improve, and how to raise the quality of corporate governance. All of this led to enrolling in the COTRUGLI EMBA program.”
This decision allowed Jadranka to exchange ideas with her colleagues during the program, analyze business challenges, and jointly develop solutions that could be applied immediately.
Challenges and benefits of education
The biggest challenge was balancing time between work and family obligations and school assignments. However, it was this preparation that strengthened her determination and enabled her to manage business processes more efficiently.
“The school confirmed many things that I was already trying to implement, but it also opened up new possibilities for me. Communication with colleagues at school was extremely valuable to me, and I am glad that we stayed in touch after the program.”
Modules related to strategy, leadership, human resources, and personal development provided her with tools that she could immediately apply in everyday business situations.
“Practical teamwork, discussions, and assignments were my favorite part of the education. COTRUGLI strengthened my confidence and competence in everyday business challenges.”
Sustainable development and innovation
As a leader in the organic/ecological food industry, Biovega is focused on sustainability and promoting a healthy lifestyle. Through the COTRUGLI EMBA, Jadranka adopted tools that enabled her to improve business processes and further strengthen Biovega as an example of a sustainable business.
