As it has become tradition, the AmCham Slovenia community ended the year festively with an inspiring AmCham Business Breakfast. At the event, top achievements shone; we announced the best business practice of the year, Best of the Best 2023, and toasted the future. Young people from the YOUng platform selected two AmCham Business Leaders of the Year, Anita Ogulin and Dr. Jure Leskovec, recipients of the Business Award of the Future, which highlights role modeling, business leadership, and the culture of dialogue. Online voting, the expert jury’s votes, and the audience’s votes at the event chose the best business practice of the year. The project by Lek d.d., a member of the Sandoz Group – Young Advisory Board – won the most votes.
The event opened with a short introduction by Ajša Vodnik, MSc, CEO, AmCham Slovenia: “Thank you all for congratulating me on my election as Chair of AmChams in Europe. For me, this means three minutes of marveling at the result and, from January 1, two years of hard work and responsibility. This will show that our team is serious when it comes to values. It is not enough to write them down – we have to live them. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we have chosen five that represent us: trust, optimism, integrity, collaboration, and ambition.”
At the center stage of greatness were two AmCham Business Leaders of the Year, Anita Ogulin and Dr. Jure Leskovec, the former with plenty of emotional intelligence know-how and the latter with the highest artificial intelligence know-how.
