He began his career in HR management, where he came to understand that sustainable business results are possible only within a culture founded on trust and collaboration. As a partner and the CEO of Profil d.o.o., he helps shape the company\u2019s strategic direction and ensures that every engagement is grounded in a clear understanding of clients\u2019 genuine needs. His work includes advisory support on reorganisations, strategic succession planning, leadership development, and corporate restructuring, combining commercial considerations with an understanding of people and their motivations. Experience across a range of industries, from pharmaceuticals, banking, through FMCG to construction, and IT, allows him to quickly understand the specific dynamics of each environment, and to tailor his approach to an organisation\u2019s culture and strategy. He holds a university degree in sociology (in the field of HR), an international Executive MBA, and has extensive knowledge of languages and intercultural environments.<\/p>\n<h4>Working approach<\/h4>\n<p>His approach is founded on trust, integrity, and collaboration. He believes that meaningful change begins with open dialogue, including attentiveness to what is left unsaid in order to better understand people\u2019s context, intentions, and emotions. Working with him involves open and respectful discussions about what truly matters: people, culture, and long-term decisions. He brings a calm and decisive presence. He is able to create an environment in which leaders and teams can engage in open discussion, identify solutions, and commit to shared goals. Rather than relying on universal solutions, he prefers to co-create tailored approaches aligned with the specific context and values of each client.<\/p>\n<h4>Experience of collaboration<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients describe him as a <strong>reliable, prudent and highly dedicated partner<\/strong> who is able to combine strategic thinking with a deep understanding of people. They value his ability to remain clear-headed and trustworthy, even in the most complex situations, and to steer discussions towards practical solutions. Many clients regard him as more than an advisor \u2013 they see him as a sounding board for the future of their company, its management culture, and the next steps in its development. His approach fosters a sense of trust, professionalism, and shared responsibility for results.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;bottom-padding&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Professional focus and experience Jani brings over 25 years\u2019 experience in leading organisations, human resource development, and strategic consulting work for management teams and supervisory boards to the world of HR consulting.
