O meni u 10 sekundi
Putovanje strasti, ustrajnosti i svrhe
Moje ime je David Žalec i osnivač sam OATENTIK®-a.. My journey began as a certified personal trainer and competitive natural bodybuilder and powerlifter. Today, I lead a company dedicated to promoting health and wellness in workplaces across Slovenia. My mission is to make a positive impact on people's lives by providing fresh, healthy options and fostering a culture of well-being.
Quick Timeline
Why I Created Sadje v pisarni
As a personal trainer, I had the privilege of working with CEOs and CFOs of major Slovenian companies. While I cherished helping individuals achieve better health and confidence, I aspired to extend this impact to a broader audience.
Recognizing the mandatory "promocijo zdravja na delovnem mestu" (promotion of workplace health) in Slovenia, I envisioned "Sadje v pisarni" (Fruit in the Office). This initiative aimed to enhance employee well-being by providing fresh fruits, smoothies, healthy snacks, nuts, and nutritional education directly to workplaces.
Starting with minimal resources and a one-year-old child at 24, the journey was challenging. I managed all aspects - from packing and deliveries to emails, accounting, logistics, purchasing, sales, and marketing.
Through perseverance, Sadje v pisarni now serves over 500 companies, collaborating with esteemed clients like Porsche, Mercedes, DHL, Jeep, and various airports.
How I Grew Sadje v pisarni
Adaptability: Recognizing the perishable nature of fresh produce, I sought ways to expand our reach. This led to the creation of OATENTIK®, offering innovative, shelf-stable products that promote health and convenience.
Community Engagement: Beyond business, I am committed to social responsibility. Through collaborations with organizations like S.O.S Association and Lunina vila, we've supported victims of domestic violence, embodying our mission to help others and create a better tomorrow.
Team Growth: Od poslovanja jedne osobe proširili smo se na predan tim od 15 ljudi, koji svi dijele strast za promicanjem zdravlja i dobrobiti.
Uključivanje OATENTIK-a u svakodnevni život
Vjerujem u svestranost i nutritivne prednosti OATENTIK-a u prahu. Osobno ga uključujem u razna jela i napitke:
Palačinke: Umiješam ga izravno u tijesto, za nježnu zobenu slatkoću i savršenu teksturu - bez mliječnih proizvoda.
Kava: Savršeno se miješa i daje mojoj kavi prirodno kremast dodir.
Samostalni napitak: Ponekad mi treba samo čaša ohlađenog OATENTIK-a - gladak, prirodno sladak i pripremljen točno onako kako mi odgovara.
