Beyond Leadership

Nejc Palir is an entrepreneur whose journey started at a very young age and has so far been coloured with many international achievements. He is on a mission of influencing positive change, challenging the status quo, empowering the underdogs and improving communities; one person at a time. Nothing brings Nejc greater joy than to build what can't be built, grow those who weren't given the opportunity and challenge himself by stepping into the uncomfortable and untested unknown. Recently, Nejc has embarked on a journey of challenging the local mindsets in Slovenia, creating new norms in terms of leadership and building an incredible software company with a rich culture in the heart of Ljubljana, tretton37. Nejc is a Chief Experience Officer at tretton37, producer of all things digital, visionary & entrepreneur.
