From her start as an Office Administrator to her current leadership role overseeing facilities across Europe, Olivera has seen RLDatix grow, playing an integral part in our evolution.
We caught up with her to learn more about her career journey, current role, and what she’s up to outside of work.
What led you to join the team?
Olivera’s journey with RLDatix began when she joined as one of the first 10 employees in Skopje, Macedonia, when the company was in its early stages in the market. “The opportunity to join a young, growing company and help shape its future was incredibly exciting,” she recalls. She was eager to “contribute to the company’s development and take on meaningful challenges.”

As the Regional Facility Manager, Olivera is responsible for managing the financial and operational aspects of RLDatix’s real estate portfolio across multiple countries.

For those interested in facilities management, Olivera advises focusing on building strong organizational and analytical skills. “It’s crucial to be detail-oriented and proactive,” she says. “Being able to balance financial management with operational efficiency is key.” She also encourages aspiring professionals to stay current with industry trends and regulations, as continuous learning is essential in this field.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned in your career so far?
One of Olivera’s biggest lessons is around the importance of how we view professional challenges. “Every obstacle presents an opportunity to grow and learn,” she shares. “It’s important to approach each situation with a positive mindset, knowing that overcoming difficulties will make you stronger.”
Outside of work, what are you up to? Tell us a bit about yourself!
When she’s not at work, Olivera enjoys spending time with her family. “I love reading children’s books to my 3-year-old son and enjoying quality time with my loved ones,” she says. She also loves to spend time with her 4-year-old Havapoo, Coco.
When not at home with family, Olivera’s favorite place to travel is Spain. “The food, climate, hospitality, and language make it a place I always look forward to visiting,” she says.
