Mastering crisis resolution
As big challenges beget bigger accomplishments, Jan’s business decisions have been fraught with challenges. Even though his days of inception involved taking decisions that were ill-founded such as pricing his rentals at a lower market price resulting in realizing lower profits, he was quick to learn from it and make prompt amendments. Although people think that stories are shaped by people, in Jan’s life, it has been the other way around. From converting leads to sales by targeting the right consumer base, raising funds to stay afloat to inspiring talents to work with his team and motivating them to see the bigger picture; each one is a meaningful tale focusing on making Jan’s venture mean more than the sum of all the components, explaining his nascent team why the organization exists and how it meets customers’ needs.
Choices define outcomes
Even during these unprecedented times, Jan and his core team members applied their expertise to find the best property rental in each area of Miami and made sure they move ahead at full speed.

More than a perfect product, production plan, and marketing pitch; Jan feels that the right people to lead and implement those plans is integral to business success. A typical day in Jan’s life reflects his core values of running a growing business and creating value that involves a typical human factor in every business endeavor. His emphasis on regular training and development to lead an upskilled workforce capable of rapid and successful adaptation to changing conditions.
Since running a dynamic business requires a cooperative effort, Jan is a master planner in streamlining operations, defining supervisory and managerial responsibilities, redesigning jobs, and reallocating assignments, and giving paramount importance to people’s welfare.
Competence is key
In his business transformation efforts, Jan also knows how to transform himself to define the future growth of the enterprise. A fast-paced, high-growth environment gives him the much-needed kick to go the extra mile. He tries to influence and create momentum for those whose professional goals are aligned to the growth mindset of the organization and is thus always looking for talents beyond educational pedigree – who are willing to adapt and collaborate as intrapreneurs having an ingrained desire to leave a lasting impact on the organization’s future.
Mentors harvest talents
Alongside, passion and perseverance Jan ascribes his steep learning curve to many other people who contributed to it. His mentors have played a crucial role in his professional development and still continue to do so.
