Each year, LJUBLJANA MBA’s annual awards honour the best performing MBA students who have demonstrated outstanding skills and motivation to become the business leaders of tomorrow. The 2023/24 generation has honoured Jan Baksa Lesjak with this award. We invite you to read his MBA story.

With LJUBLJANA MBA behind you, has the journey been worth it?

Absolutely. For me, it was about expanding my knowledge and building upon the strong foundation of my international professional experience. While it was sometimes challenging to dedicate the necessary time to fully absorb and apply new ideas to my business, it was undoubtedly worthwhile. Throughout the journey, I had the privilege of meeting incredible people, sharing experiences with an outstanding team of professors and classmates, and gaining not just one but multiple valuable insights that I will continuously integrate into my professional endeavors. When I applied to the MBA program, I committed to giving it my all, and every hour and weekend invested proved to be well worth it. 

What was your LJUBLJANA MBA highlight?

The most memorable aspect for me was the bond with my classmates. Our cohort of 31 formed an extraordinary connection, which made the entire experience even more enriching. During the most demanding moments, when motivation was hard to find, having such an inspiring group alongside me made all the difference. No matter how stressful my business and personal responsibilities became, attending class and learning with these remarkable individuals was a special experience. Their support helped me stay motivated and fully engaged throughout the program.

What will be your professional and personal path after graduating from LJUBLJANA MBA?

On a personal level, I plan to dedicate more of my free time to Rotary and similar organizations, while also making the most of my weekends by spending time in nature. Professionally, I will continue my entrepreneurial journey and pursue several business ideas, some of which have significant growth potential. Additionally, in recent years, I have been approached by various business professionals seeking guidance on identifying opportunities for expansion, particularly in Central European markets. Consulting has proven to be an area where I can provide substantial value, leveraging my expertise to help companies refine their strategies and scale effectively. I also enjoy the challenge of analyzing business models and offering fresh perspectives, making this an exciting path for me to move forward.
