The new SAS CSEE region includes branches in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece. “By forming this region we are creating the ideal conditions to be even closer to customers and therefore in a position to better serve them as trusted advisors,” explains Hagström. Jana Zizková was named Regional Director for SAS in CSEE. Formerly the Country Manager for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, she emphasizes the significance of the new region in response to changed customer behavior and customer needs. “Globalization and regionalization confront our customers with new business challenges and needs.
