Borut Zemljic in conversation at The Ventures in Zurich

Experience across business and leadership.

My career spans a broad range of roles and ventures, including brand marketing, executive recruitment, business leadership and board responsibilities. These roles have given me different perspectives on how companies build their reputation, bring people together and develop new opportunities.

Today, I draw on that experience to help others work through difficult decisions, understand the wider implications and turn a chosen direction into action.
