Jovana Kovacevic (she/her)

Director of Vendor Management at Gooten

I was fresh out of college when I started working at Gooten, and before that, I was an intern at World Learning. I hold a BA in journalism from the University of Novi Sad and I've spent my college junior year at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR.

At Gooten, I get to work with some of my best friends, on projects that are quite interesting and challenging. My team and I are responsible for managing day to day vendor operations, serving as the operational point of contact with our manufacturing network and managing the performance of the network. I'm making sure that the supply side of our business meets the needs of our merchant partners, which is a combination of proactively anticipating partner needs and reacting to Growth team-led opportunities.

In my spare time, I enjoy knitting if I manage to get the yarn away from the paws of my pets (three cats and a dog), singing and playing Triviador.

    I like them to be structured, straight to the point and brief. If they can be an email, even better.
