Previous career experience
Always intrigued by how things work and how different components interact within mechanical and technical assemblies. Over time, realized that mechanical engineering is the field that truly explores and connects all of these principles. Later on, also discovered that becoming a mechanical engineer gives a unique ability to adapt to different tasks and areas — providing a kind of versatility and broad perspective. Genuinely happy to have followed intuition when choosing studies, because it shaped the way of thinking and approaching challenges today.
Experience at Tameson
Great colleagues!
Main responsibilities
Working with the product and sourcing team on establishing the TamesonPRO brand. Main responsibility is to evaluate and qualify potential new suppliers — this includes checking the quality of their operations and products before deciding to include them in the portfolio. So far, that’s been the primary focus, but the scope of the role is still evolving as the brand develops.
Personal background

Enjoys riding a motorcycle and going on longer trips whenever possible, as it helps clear the mind and recharge. Also passionate about sailing. Likes walking the dog and staying active through CrossFit.
Pets
Has a dog named Šule (or “Schule” in German), a mixed breed — part pointer and part Staffordshire terrier — adopted about two and a half years ago. He’s just one giant baby.
Proudest personal achievement
Buying an apartment with his wife early this year.
