How long have you been with Monash University?

Almost five years.

Prior to working at Monash, where were you located and what was your role?

I was a lecturer in the School of Information Systems in the Faculty of Business and Law at Victoria University, Melbourne. Prior to that, I was the CEO of Federal Airline in Yugoslavia.

What challenges are ahead in your current role?

Predominantly to make sure that enrolments in the Master of Business (Information Technology Management) take off successfully and to also make the project management unit the flagship of the course. This unit allows students to gain the theoretical foundations of project management as well as hands-on experience. This combination should attract students from other faculties looking to enhance their chances of gaining employment.

What is it about your job that holds your interest or is particularly satisfying?

The fact that I can contribute to the learning process of my students by marrying the theory and practice, and nurture an environment in which they can learn and have fun at the same time.

What is your favourite place in the world and why?

MCG for the Grand Final this year where I will see St Kilda win the premiership.

What is the best piece of advice you have received?

Be aware that project management is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage and those who manage what they do not understand.

What is something about yourself that most of your colleagues wouldn't know?

I am charming, generous, passionate, charming, sensitive, personable … did I mention charming?
