Adriana Baranek
CEO
Miadria Group
Immediately after I completed my degree in economy I started my career at Zagrebačka banka, the largest bank in Croatia. During my 17 years with Zagrebačka (it will always be the Bank for me) I was lucky enough to had worked in various departments and obtained experiences that are otherwise rare and, for that reason, precious. My expertise in finance is broad and it covers regulatory reporting (Basel II included) as well as audit coordination and preparation of IFRS financial statements. Additionally, I worked in management accounting and am experienced in preparing reports for specific needs of top management. I participated in the first rating review performed by credit rating agencies as well as in roadshows in world financial centers, communicating with major emerging market investors and analysts.
I was always very IT oriented and expert in developing innovative solutions to extract meaningful and constructive information from raw data. It was always my primary goal to achieve business automation and produce better schedules from any form that data were delivered in. I took joy in making a better use of office tools which I had at my disposal.
The next step in my career and now the main ingredient of who I am professionally, is being the CEO of a company which is Google Apps Authorized Reseller. Living with Google Apps 24/7 came to me naturally and is really an extension of who I was in the corporate world.
Today Google Apps presents us with wonderful and new ways with which we can automate our business processes, collaborate with other people in a meaningful ways and communicate better which all translates to better and more productive us in our workplace. Google Apps are easy to learn and make you more productive. I feel immensely privileged to be able to work with Google in bringing these wonderful services to companies in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and other countries in the region.
