His leadership experience, especially at the helm of one of Slovenia’s largest firms, will provide invaluable insights to Telemach Slovenia, as we will continue to grow our business in the country while delivering high-quality services and a superior customer experience.”
“On behalf of United Group, I want to thank Adrian for his excellent work and his achievement in generating such significant growth for our company in Slovenia. As CEO of Telemach Croatia, Adrian will now focus on building United Group’s presence in Croatia and tap into the full potential we see in this market“.
Jezina added: “During the past six years, Telemach Slovenia has significantly strengthened its position to become the number one in fix broadband and number two in mobile postpaid services. We have seen consistent growth in our customer base and increased our market share. I am proud of these achievements and confident that under Tomislav’s leadership, Telemach will continue to go from strength to strength. I wish him well in his new role“.
Cizmic said: “I am thrilled to be joining United Group and working for Slovenia’s fastest-growing telecommunications provider. This is one of the most innovative and dynamic sectors there is. Under my leadership, Telemach will continue to be a hub of excellence and the top choice for customers seeking the best services on the market. Together with my colleagues at United Group we will ensure that Slovenia remains technologically innovative, open, and competitive”.
