Meet Our Global Leadership Squad

A key motivation behind establishing Xenios Academy was to challenge traditional notions of adult learning and redefine what professional training looks (and feels!) like.

Our founders combine their unique professional backgrounds - Zeljana with her extensive training in neuroscience, Marco with his deep understanding of luxury hospitality, and Filip with his passion and talent for UX/UI design - all with a goal to do just that - create a tremendously fun yet highly effective educational experience for hospitality employees.

Our core team also benefits from the vast experience, proficiency, and insight brought by our Directors of Sales – Marija and Victoria, Global Marketing Director - Igor, and our Head of Content Development, Pryscilla as well as our seasoned Chief Technology Advisor - Bhanu (a tech whiz too modest to brag), Strategic Growth Advisor - Diana (a master of Business Development) and Financial Consultant - Rina (whose skill in crunching numbers is rivaled only by her charm and positivity).

But it doesn’t stop there - Xenios Academy continually expands its network of esteemed partners - leaders in the hospitality industry - who endorse, elevate, and sponsor our courses, contributing a rich array of knowledge and expertise. Welcome to the perfect blend of learning and fun - where hospitality employees develop impressive professional skills and have a blast doing it!
