my story
I’m Andrea Čerina. In almost 20 years of experience, I’ve held leading HR and Business Operations roles in both large corporations like Microsoft and the fast-paced world of Croatian start-ups, including those that are part of international groups. This unique blend of expertise has equipped me to deliver tailored solutions for different types of business environments.
Combining years of HR and business experience and a dedication to quality, I founded HR & BIZ Studio. I’m here to empower micro, small, and medium-sized companies in the areas of human resources and business operations.
I graduated from the Faculty of Economics in Zagreb and post-graduated from the Faculty of Law in Parma, Italy. On a personal note, I find joy in reading, culinary delights, and traveling. Given my academic background and those interests, I can offer you an interesting conversation in English, Italian, or German, recommend a good book or a place to try some local specialties.
My blend of realism and optimism, combined with a proactive approach and openness, enables me to always seek the most efficient solutions.
