Head of People at Toggl

Overview

Dajana is the Head of People at Toggl, where she leads People Ops for a fully remote team of over 130 people. With eight years of experience, she specializes in building people-first, results-driven cultures centered on autonomy and trust. Her background includes a Masters degree in Media and Communications.

Outside of her professional focus on organizational development, Dajana has a background in literature and communications. She is a vocal proponent of transparent, no-filter communication and believes that respect, fairness, and meaningful challenges are the bedrock of a positive work environment, with fun being an important element once the foundation is solid.

Interesting fact: Dajana and her husband have the same first name for their fathers (Zoran) and confusingly similar last names, a personal detail she has shared publicly.
