When a colleague is promoted, it’s not just a personal milestone—it’s a moment of shared pride and a testament to the value of growth, persistence, and teamwork. This month, we are proud to congratulate Nebojša on his promotion to Computer Operators Manager at Quantox!

To celebrate this achievement, we spoke with Nebojša about his journey, challenges, goals, and personal reflections.

Congratulations! How did you feel when you found out about the promotion?

Thank you!
It was a great feeling, honestly. I’ve had a strong desire to move into this role for quite some time, and receiving this recognition from the company meant a lot to me. It felt like a natural next step in my career.

How would you describe your new role and responsibilities?

The role is both exciting and dynamic. My primary responsibilities now include overseeing several teams and task streams, ensuring smooth communication between our internal teams and clients. I act as a bridge—making sure that expectations are aligned and that both sides are supported in delivering the best possible outcomes.

What would you say is the biggest challenge and the most exciting aspect of this position?

The biggest challenge is living up to the role through consistent performance, leadership, and trust. I want to prove that the decision to promote me was the right one.
As for the exciting part—it’s having access to new dimensions of team organization, project planning, and strategy that I didn’t engage with before. It’s a whole new level of involvement and impact.

Let’s talk about your journey. How did your career at Quantox begin?

It all started 13 years ago. Back then, Quantox was a small group—just couple of us working in a small office. I had no prior experience in corporate work. It was my first real job. As the company evolved and grew, so did I. Each new project, client, and challenge shaped me, and I grew alongside the organization.

How did your past experience prepare you for this leadership role?

I’ve spent a long time in the industry and an even longer time in the company. That experience has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the business, especially in the adult content domain. I’ve learned how to prioritize what matters, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and stay focused on results. These are key traits that I believe helped pave the way for this role.

What role do Computer Operators play in the broader company ecosystem?

A very important one. After the developers and designers finish building a client’s platform, our team ensures long-term functionality and quality through maintenance, support, and ongoing operations. We close the loop on the product life cycle—ensuring continuity and client satisfaction.

What’s your vision for developing the team going forward?

Our team is already well-trained in traditional tools and methods. My goal moving forward is to incorporate AI tools into daily operations and ensure every team member becomes proficient. AI greatly improves speed, quality, and efficiency—and I want us to stay ahead of the curve.

How do you motivate your team and foster a good working atmosphere?

I believe the best motivation is clarity and balance. Everyone knows their daily goals and the expectations are realistic and tailored to their skill sets. There’s no excessive pressure, just a supportive environment where everyone has space to perform and improve. I have a few ideas in mind to strengthen team spirit even more—we’ll discuss them soon.

Outside of work—how do you recharge? Any hobbies?

Absolutely. My son, Vasilije, is currently my main source of both energy and exhaustion—depending on the time of day. 😊
Aside from that, I’ve been into sports my entire life. Mornings at the gym, pickup basketball games, and recently—cycling. Long rides in nature have become my new favorite way to clear my mind.

And finally, what would you tell your younger self—and those just starting out?

To my younger self:

“Forget the nightlife :) —start learning programming!”

To those at the beginning of their journey:

“Start learning programming—and add AI on top of it.”

Nebojša’s journey is a reflection of what’s possible when loyalty, adaptability, and leadership come together. We congratulate him once again and look forward to the impact he’ll make in this new role!
