Matej Podobnik is a seasoned communications leader with nearly two decades of experience spanning corporate communication, marketing, and sales across global markets. Starting his career in the trenches of traditional business, Matej quickly realized that communication often lacked the human touch that makes brands and leaders relatable. This realization led him to found Hooman Communications—a people-first consultancy dedicated to reshaping how companies communicate by blending strategic clarity with authentic connection.

Matej’s passion for building teams, fostering leadership, and creating impactful strategies has defined his career. He’s known for transforming communication challenges into clear, actionable solutions, always with a focus on trust and long-term impact. A big believer in personal growth, Matej gives his teams meaningful responsibilities right from the start, allowing them to grow and take ownership without the weight of micromanagement.

But there’s another side to Matej. Despite a career centered on public speaking and leading conversations, Matej is a self-proclaimed introvert—someone who recharges best in quieter spaces. It’s a contrast that has shaped his approach, especially in leadership and public relations. His drive to help fellow introverts find their voice in traditionally extroverted spaces fuels his work and personal mission.

When he’s not steering communication strategies or supporting CSR and sustainability efforts, Matej is likely on a basketball court, harnessing the competitive spirit that’s served him well both in sports and in business. It’s this drive—mixed with a stubborn determination to challenge expectations—that defines his approach to communication and leadership.
