A lot can change in nine years – roles, goals, markets, even entire business models. But some things stay the same, like passion, curiosity, and the drive to grow.
For Nikolina Romakov, Talent Partner in Novi Sad, her time at Levi9 has been all of that and more. What started as a career opportunity turned into a space for growth, strategy, and personal impact. Let’s take a look at her journey so far.
From Day One to Year Nine
“Back then, when I was at the start of my career, I saw Levi9 as a great opportunity to grow. It was a chance to become part of an international company with a strong story and ambitious plans for the future.”
Over the years, Nikolina has gotten to know a company that evolves, adapts, and stays relevant – not just for its clients, but for its people.
“Levi9 is a place that continually finds ways to help employees grow and develop alongside it”, she shares.
Talent Partner and Beyond
When asked about the most memorable milestones in her Levi9 journey, Nikolina highlights two key moments:
“The first was when we transitioned our HR operating model and introduced the Talent Partner role. This opened an opportunity for me to work more strategically and make a greater impact. The second milestone was when I took responsibility for a single business unit. That change challenged me, broadened my view, and created numerous opportunities for me to grow and contribute more directly and powerfully.”
Growth On Every Level
Nine years at Levi9 have brought plenty of change, challenges, and achievements. Nikolina says the journey helped her sharpen her skills, build confidence, and become more impactful in her role. She’s developed professionally and personally, becoming more adaptable and purpose-driven along the way.
For her, motivation comes from the opportunity to make a difference. At Levi9, she’s found a culture that welcomes ideas, supports innovation, and encourages ownership. Helping others grow and find meaning in their careers keeps her energized every day.
That’s why her advice for newcomers is full of optimism: “Be proactive, think about where you want to go, and we’ll be there to help you find your path.”
What Makes Levi9 Different?
It’s not just about keeping up with industry trends, it’s about shaping them. Nikolina values how Levi9 invests in its people, adapts its processes, and creates space for continuous learning and development.
Levi9 stands out for its people and its ability to keep improving. I’m constantly observing the market and industry trends, and I appreciate how Levi9 evolves, refines its processes, and expands opportunities for employees to learn and grow. It’s a place that truly invests in its people’s future.
Nikolina is excited to see how Levi9 is responding to changing market conditions and to the future of work in general. “I want to be an active part of shaping that future, thinking strategically, while also staying hands-on and making sure we implement whatever we choose to pursue. It’s a future I’m proud to help create.”
Cheers to 9 amazing years, Nikolina!
