MANAGING DIRECTOR
Jan Peloza
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Ekipa Impact Hub Ljubljana

Jan has travelled almost half of the world and found his happiness in Slovenia, where he has been working as a social entrepreneur for almost two decades—at first unconsciously, but in recent years, very consciously and with dedication. As a result, he became the director of the first accelerator for social and impact businesses in Slovenia, Impact Hub Ljubljana.

Jan loves to talk, and even more so, he loves to share his life and business wisdom, so don’t hesitate to tap him on the shoulder and ask him a question. His strengths lie in non-governmental and non-profit organisations, health, communication, advocacy, and sustainable development.

Ana’s studies, work, and hobbies have already taken her to Germany, France, and even Dubai, but she has settled in Ljubljana in recent years. After a decade in a more corporate world, she returned to the environment where she had already been involved during her studies, when she was an active volunteer in one of the founding organisations of Impact Hub Ljubljana.

She is eager to share her knowledge and experience to support social and impact entrepreneurs. She can be easily bribed with coffee and/or chocolate, although she will also be happy to help you with questions about organisation, sales, and strategy development without expecting anything in return.

Nina Bavčar Čargo
Programme Lead

Nina has always believed in standing up for others and speaking on behalf of those who do not have the power to do so.

It is no coincidence that her career path led her to law school and later to the non-governmental sector, where she became an active advocate for the youth.

As the long-standing director of the Institute for Youth Policy and as the head of the Youth-Friendly Municipality programme, she has helped shape numerous local communities and strategies for young people.

Today, she shapes society as the acting director of one of the founding organisations of Impact Hub Ljubljana and will be happy to help you on your entrepreneurial journey as well.
