President and CEO

Hermes SoftLab based in Ljubljana - Slovenia

(Privately Held; 501-1000 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

November 2002 — July 2004 (1 year 9 months)

President and CEO: The Company was facing major financials problems, reporting €4.5M losses on €38.4M of revenue in FY2002 with more than 700 employees deployed in 9 countries: Slovenia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Hungary, Austria, Germany, USA, UK, Ireland and France. I led a process of renewal, evolving a new organization with redefined responsibilities for members of a newly structured Executive Committee. I acted as a real agent of change and under my leadership, the company was streamlined on activities that had a material positive impact on operations.
The Company is now well positioned to provide software engineering in Western European countries and related consulting services and system integration in former Yugoslavian countries and in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland). In fiscal 2004, the company's financial performance is very satisfactory, showing revenues ahead of plan, good forward orders and consistently positive monthly cash flows.
