Time to meet the COO at Montecha, Kristina!

What do you find to be the most exciting aspect of Montecha?

Montecha is a young company, and everything we do has a significant influence on it. It's exciting to see how it grows and how we do fantastic things. Our clients are trying to solve the world's biggest problems, and being part of the solution excites me the most.

Don't Wish for it. Work for it.

What is on your wish list for the next 5 years with Montecha?

For the last couple of years, we have achieved incredible results. As a COO, my primary duty is to think about people, organisation, and growth. So far, we have been doing a magnificent job, and my wish is to continue in that direction. For the next five years, I'd like to see us as the top 5 software companies in Serbia with excellent company culture and the happiest engineers in the world. I'd also like to extend our client portfolio with companies like us: passionate, people-oriented, and innovative.

We live in a world with a lot of potentials, things are moving very fast, and we need to be very quick in our reactions. The following five years will prove that our initial vision ("investing in people and modern technologies is the key to success") was correct, and I am sure that we will stay on the right track and become very successful.

What is your proudest moment at Montecha?

At Montecha, we try to invest a lot in people, and people are our primary resource. We hired many people with different personalities, experiences, and knowledge through the years. After they spend a couple of months with us, we always hear the same conclusion: "I am feeling great at Montecha, and I am here to stay". That's always the moment when I feel the proudest. It shows me that everything we do makes a lot of sense and gives me the motivation to continue. I am always happy when we can hire someone new and provide a chance for a new person to grow and improve.

What are 3 words to describe Montecha?

Three words that describe Montecha are:

1. People - Our main focus

2. Teamwork - The best work is delivered by quality teams

3. Experience - Our work shows how significant experience and knowledge we have

When Dreams Come True.

How do you define success in life?

I often hear people equate success with tangible, material things and perceptions. A good marriage is exclusively a marriage for a wealthy partner, and a good job is exclusively one with a high income. Anything other than that is not a success because it is not visible; it cannot be felt.

I have not measured success exclusively with money, high-rise buildings, and expensive cars for a long time. A person must discover what makes him alive, what brings him peace, and what makes him feel good.

For me, it is equally successful in being human, being your own, being honest, and being different from others. Success is when you can spend time with your family, travel with them, and be free, without any obstacles that hold you back.

When are you the happiest?

What does happiness mean to you? I am not a big fan of this question because people always expect some complex answers and wisdom. Happiness is when you are simply happy. You might not know how to express happiness, but you know how to feel it; it's very simple. Happiness for someone is a glass of good wine, a good book, or a new job. Every happiness is equally important.

For me, happiness is my family, the life we live together, and the time we spend together. Every tiny moment that we have together makes me very happy and excited. I am addicted to traveling and discovering new countries, cultures, and meeting new people. So far, I have visited more than 40 countries and three continents. I am happiest when I can travel with my family and share those precious moments with them.

Whatever I do, I'm the happiest if I do with my heart.
