Different roots. One shared purpose.

Nathalia is the Founder and CEO of Salona Consulting. Her great-grandparents emigrated from Korčula to Brazil, and her own citizenship journey inspired her to help others reconnect with their roots. Today, Nathalia leads a multicultural team helping families worldwide explore their Croatian heritage, navigate citizenship, and manage their Croatian documents throughout life. She combines personal experience with a commitment to thoughtful service, helping families honor their heritage and build a lasting connection with Croatia. Outside work, Nathalia enjoys hiking, traveling, and getting lost in historical dramas. Croatia is part of her family history, her life with her husband, and the work she loves.

Nicole works alongside Salona’s Founder Nathalia on strategic projects and new initiatives, conducting agency research and contributing to the development and refinement of internal workflows. The two first met while studying for their MBAs, and Nicole soon became involved with Salona as the company was taking shape, giving her a front-row seat to its growth over time. With her knowledge of several languages, she fits right into a team working across different countries. Her connection to Croatia is simple but strong: clear blue water and good food.

Ana primarily oversees client cases while coordinating operational processes across the entire citizenship journey. From obtaining documents and their apostilles from authorities around the world to communicating with government offices and managing time-sensitive cases, she helps ensure each process moves efficiently and every deadline stays on track. Outside of work, Ana loves traveling, especially to destinations with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water, such as the Croatian coast.

Iva brings her firsthand knowledge of Croatia to genealogical research, working with Croatian records and local institutions while supporting the administrative process for clients’ applications. Her background in luxury hospitality has shaped her eye for detail and people-focused approach, which she applies to her daily tasks. She values being part of a diverse and supportive team while helping others connect with their Croatian roots. In her free time, Iva enjoys traveling and staying active and has a special appreciation for Croatia’s diverse landscapes, warm people, traditions, and, of course, its food.

Melanie heads Salona’s client relations and is one of the first friendly faces clients meet. She guides them through their initial questions about eligibility and the citizenship process. She speaks several languages, including English, Spanish, and Italian, which also leaves plenty of room for a little friendly chat along the way. Those early conversations often come with family stories, which Melanie genuinely enjoys hearing. Her favorite thing about Croatia? That’s a difficult one because she’ll happily say “everything,” but if she really has to choose, nothing quite beats a Zadar sunset.

Diana works at the heart of Salona’s client experience, connecting clients with the operations team and coordinating communication, documents, questions, and next steps throughout the process. Fluent in English, German, and Spanish, she brings a natural ease to every conversation. Her role is all about making sure clients feel informed and never left wondering what comes next. And when it comes to what she loves most about Croatia, her answer is simple: the people – which perhaps says everything about the way she approaches her work, too.

Jasminka works with internal records and supports administrative processes, ensuring they are organized and properly documented. Her steady and reliable approach also reflects her previous experience in consular support, where handling official documents with care was an important part of her work. At Salona, she enjoys the variety of her role and the opportunity to keep learning. When she’s not working, Jasminka enjoys going for walks, swimming, and spending quality time with her family.

Andrew coordinates Salona’s marketing and communication activities through webinars, social media, and other digital channels. He also oversees the prospective client journey, shaping each step from the website through contract signing, so the experience feels clear, intuitive, and easy to navigate. His connection to Croatia goes beyond Salona: as a soccer fan, he has always been a big admirer of the Croatian national team and the way it has consistently punched above its weight over the years.

As one of the Croatians on the Salona team, Viktorija gets to bring a little piece of home into her work. Her role includes content management, website content, and brand consistency, often using her own knowledge of Croatian culture and everyday life to shape how Salona tells its stories. That personal perspective lets her add details that can be easy to miss from the outside. And when screens and content have had enough of her attention, Viktorija is happiest heading out for a hike or a long walk, whether in Switzerland or back in Croatia.

Naiane mainly supports citizenship application preparation, with her work ranging from tracking deadlines and next steps to coordinating document requests, apostilles, translations, and binders. She handles the many moving pieces involved so each case can progress smoothly. She loves spending time with her husband and friends and trying something new whenever the opportunity comes up. And when her travels brought her to Croatia, Plitvice Lakes National Park quickly became one of her favorite places.

Margherita’s role combines social media, market research, website projects, and other marketing initiatives at Salona. With a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in communication, she has always been interested in different cultures and perspectives, an interest she gets to bring into her work every day. Since joining Salona, she has also discovered more about Croatia and its history, adding another culture to the list of things she enjoys learning about.

Lucas supports the preparation and coordination of client documentation, from translations and quality control to final application materials and international document delivery. He likes the close way the team works and being part of a company that is growing, with a manager who stays closely involved in the day-to-day work. Lucas is also currently studying IT in Switzerland, which is useful whenever a tech question pops up around the office. When work is done, he is usually happiest with a guitar in hand or planning his next trip with his wife.

Rozzellin keeps things moving behind the scenes, coordinating document requests, certification processes, and quality control to ensure client documentation is accurate, complete, and ready for the next stage. With previous experience in media and TV production, she brings a creative side to her work and still makes plenty of room for painting, singing, and writing. She enjoys being part of Salona’s international environment, where different perspectives and stories come together, while bringing organization, creativity, and attention to detail to everything she does.

Camila works closely with clients both before and after citizenship approval, guiding them through the documentation and requirements involved at each stage. Her background in international relations provides a strong foundation for a role that connects clients, documentation, and processes across different countries. Camila has a real passion for dancing and discovering new places, especially when there’s an amusement park waiting somewhere along the way.

Paola plays an active role in Salona’s marketing, working on campaign development, social media, and performance analysis. With a bachelor’s degree in marketing, she is currently completing an MBA and continuing to build on her interest in both the creative and business sides of the field; she liked both too much to choose just one. What she values most about Salona’s work is the real impact it can have on people’s lives and the sense of connection and belonging behind the process. And if food comes up, tacos are always a safe choice.
