Welcome to the Team, Mario!

When someone joins the team with such energy, motivation, and charisma, you can’t help but like them!
Since January, Mario Jankovic has been strengthening our sales team at samwin and is responsible for the Swiss market. We sat down with him to get to know him better and find out what drives him.

Editorial Team: Mario, welcome to samwin! How has your start been so far?

Mario: Thank you! My start has been fantastic. The team welcomed me warmly, and I was able to hit the ground running right away. I love when things move fast, and that’s exactly what happened here.

Editorial Team: That sounds like a great introduction! Tell us a bit about your role at samwin.

Mario: My main focus is supporting our customers and partners in Switzerland while building new relationships. That means I spend a lot of time on the road, meeting clients, presenting our solutions, and advising them to ensure they get exactly what they need. Of course, there’s also an organizational side to my role - I handle offers, contracts, projects, and licenses. I also enjoy conducting training sessions because I believe it’s essential for our customers to get the most out of samwin. Then there are trade fairs and events where I represent the company. In short, I’m constantly engaging with customers, partners, and our internal team to deliver the best possible solutions together!

Sounds like a dynamic and diverse role! What were you doing before joining samwin?

Mario: I come from an IT background and spent several years working as a 2nd-level support supervisor in a data center. That gave me a deep technical understanding and strong problem-solving skills, which are incredibly valuable now when advising our clients. I enjoy tackling complex requirements and developing tailored solutions. 

Editorial Team: So, a perfect mix of technical expertise and sales acumen! What excites you the most about your new position?

Mario: Definitely the variety! No two days are the same, and I love taking on new challenges. But what I enjoy most is the direct interaction with customers and partners. I’m a people person, and I’m really looking forward to building strong relationships in this role.

Editorial Team: That sounds like a lot of positive energy! What keeps you so motivated?

Mario (laughs): I’m an early riser! "The early bird catches the worm" is my motto. Mornings are when I’m most productive, and my fitness routine gives me an extra boost to start the day.

Editorial Team: Great segue - what do you like to do in your free time when you’re not on the road for samwin?

Mario: I’m really passionate about fitness and love staying active. Football is one of my biggest hobbies, and I also enjoy spending time outdoors. When I want to unwind, I grab my camera and capture special moments.

Editorial Team: That sounds like a great way to recharge! Lastly, why do you think you’re a perfect fit for our team?

Mario: I’d say because I’m a true team player who loves making things happen together. I bring a lot of dedication, enjoy taking on challenges, and take a hands-on approach. Most importantly, I’m just really excited to be part of this incredible team!
