Following his pioneering path of being one of the first E/MBA graduates at IEDC Bled School of Business, he got intrigued by the challenges of leading a diverse and demanding creative team and understanding the young generation at work. He studied the Millennials as talent in the European advertising industry for his doctoral research at IEDC, which was subsequently also published in a book.
