Mihaela Kovaček Pejić

Mihaela Kovaček Pejić, People & Culture Manager at IKEA Croatia, graduated in psychology from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. She began her career in human resources at one of Croatia’s leading banks. Over the course of 18 years in the banking sector, she gained extensive professional experience and expertise. Six years ago, she decided to apply her knowledge and enthusiasm in a new industry, staying true to her passion—people, and their satisfaction and development as the key prerequisite for a long-term successful business organization.

In her view, the key task of the HR function is to translate well-crafted strategies into very concrete and tangible practices in everyday business life that support business growth while maintaining a constant focus on genuine care for each employee.

As someone who genuinely loves people and finds personal fulfilment in working for the benefit of as many people as possible, she finds great professional joy in being responsible for people and organizational culture within the company. She takes particular satisfaction in the fact that she holds this role at IKEA, a company that shares her core values, which allows her to be authentic and truly enjoy what she does.
