To Whom It May Concern
I worked with Milos between November 2012 to March 2013. Milos Trkulja had established
the Public Sector business vertical in Microsoft subsidiary in Serbia and Montenegro. With
the foundation of strong work ethic, Milos and the team were able to achieve a number of
successes during the period of 8+ years tenure in Microsoft. During this period, Microsoft
Serbia Public sector business demonstrated the growth from unmanaged business to the
total volume exceeding the amount of 10 million US dollars per year. The overall
accomplishment had been completed by the establishment of the Strategic Partnership
Agreement between the Government of Serbia and Microsoft Corporation, in 2013. As an
outcome of his accomplishments, Milos has been awarded several times, at the national and
regional level, as well as internally in Microsoft.
Milos is an experienced professional with excellent relationship development, leadership and
management skills. Milos demonstrates an excellent mixture of business insights and
strategic planning. He is creative and genuine thinker with native intellectual capacity and
plenty of business acumen that he applies to solve complex business problems. He is a
strong individual contributor as well, with the ability to operationalize ideas. Milos
demonstrates strong communication skills and aligns well with colleagues. He is highly
respected by coworkers, customers and partners.
Milos is motivated to drive the change. With his knowledge and expertise in Public Sector
industry, he coached Microsoft Public Sector team how to develop the new strategies for the
public administration in Serbia and Montenegro. Milos motivated Serbian Public Sector team
to demonstrate the best of each and every individual from the perspective of both
performance as well as personal development.
Milos led the successful development of several marketing projects for Microsoft Serbia that
have resulted in overall business growth. Milos has led the change management in the
marketing space in order to align to dynamic market environment.
Milos is a strong leader, with proven impact and influence competencies, motivated to drive
the agility and establish the new market conditions, based on the environment indicators. As
such, Milos would be a strong asset for any company aspiring to grow in the region of South
East Europe.
