Meet Maja Miloradovic: CEO Assistant at SwissBorg
Meet the SwissBorg Team
Maja Miloradovic has a big sunshine smile that matches her enthusiasm and pep. A graduate of the University of Novi Sad — Faculty of Technical Sciences, Serbia, in Engineering and Media Management, she is a skilled administrator. But, like many on the SwissBorg team, she is much more than her job title connotes. Maja is a vibrant organizer, a can-do team player, with enough energy to match the multitudes of tasks that she takes on with confidence.
It is easy to understand what makes her such an enthusiastic team leader when she explains her many years of being a Pilates and Aerobics instructor, her big passion in life.
Born in Serbia before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Maja is no stranger to war and strife. Perhaps, that is why she loves nature, sports and animals. Peace, she realized, early in life, is precious and life is to be lived fully because it is a gift denied to many. Married to a professional handball player, Maja had the opportunity to travel all over Europe and gain invaluable experience working with people from different cultures. Her resilient character and happy disposition helped Maja to travel widely and adapt quickly everywhere she went.
Fluent in four languages, including her native Serbian plus Hungarian, English, and French. Maja took to blogging while traveling and living in foreign places, in two languages, about food, lifestyle, and health.
Having moved to Lausanne because of her husband’s job, three years ago, Maja decided she wanted to work in a job that put the managerial skills that she had learned at the University and the soft skills she acquired, teaching, travelling, and writing, to good use.
In SwissBorg she found a perfect match — a young and pioneering company with a great startup culture that felt like a family but was in urgent need of better organization and structure because it was growing fast.
Maja was not only excited about working at a pathbreaking company on the blockchain but also happy to become the team’s drill sergeant, the one who makes people move, her many years of Aerobic teaching, where you make a group of people work hard and sweat to the same rhythm came in handy!
At SwissBorg Maja manages many tasks, but her main mission is to manage our workflow and liaise with the different team members and our CEO and other department heads. Super organized and motivated she plans to improve communication within the team and increase productivity through better workplace structure & workflow strategy. She, also, plays a Human Resources role, interviewing & recruiting the many candidates that the company is busy hiring.
When asked what she likes most about her job, she answers, “I love the sense of belonging to a family and a larger community that working for SwissBorg provides, I like putting my energy to use towards a collective goal that aims to use blockchain technology to change an entire industry, with the promise of making it more meritocratic, transparent, and decentralized.”
