I frequently travel and it is very important for me that I arrive everywhere as planned and because of that flying is my first choice Imajući u vidu da često putujem, važno mi je da svuda stignem na vreme i upravo je zato avion moje omiljeno prevozno sredstvo
Kosturos je na poziciju generalnog direktora BAT-a za Srbiju i Crnu Goru došao sa mesta finansijskog direktora BAT Francuska. Imao je mogućnost da vodi neke od najznačajnijih finansijskih projekata doprinoseći strategiji razvoja i jačanju kompanijske pozicije na tržištu, kao i razvoju kvalitetnih profesionalaca i zaposlenih. Oženjen je i otac dvoje dece. U AVIONU VOLIM DA ČITAM I SLUŠAM MUZIKU pa uvek nosim neku knjigu i plejlistu omiljenih pesama. Ako idem na poslovni put, to vreme najčešće koristim da se dodatno pripremim za sastanak. POZNATO JE DA MI MUŠKARCI NOSIMO ŠTO JE MOGUĆE MANJE STVARI. Izuzev laptopa i telefona, ima još jedna stvar bez koje nikuda ne idem. To je glo, uređaj najnovije generacije za zagrevanje duvana. Radi se o inovaciji kompanije BAT, koja nama pušačima omogućava uživanje, ali bez neprijatnih mirisa i pepela. IMAO SAM PRIVILEGIJU da živim i radim u Londonu, Rimu, Parizu, Atini, Rigi... Svako mesto ima nešto specifično. Volim London zbog raznolikosti društva i mnogo kulturnog sadržaja koji taj grad nudi posetiocima. Pariz volim zbog hrane, vina i ambijenta, kao i Atinu i grčka ostrva. VOLIM LJUDE U BEOGRADU. Radio sam u mnogim zemljama i stekao veliko profesionalno iskustvo, ali retko sam imao priliku da upoznam tako srdačne ljude. Volim ulice Beograda i ležernu atmosferu koja na njima vlada, dinamiku ovog grada, koja je baš po mojoj meri, i naravno, odličnu hranu i restorane. Beograd je veoma gostoljubiv, živahan grad i odličan je za decu.
Kostouros was appointed general manager of BAT for Serbia and Montenegro from the post of finance director at BAT France. He had the opportunity to lead some of the company’s important financial projects, developing good professionals and contributing to BAT’s cor- porate strategy and the strengthening of its market position. He is a married father of two children. I ALWAYS CARRY A BOOK with me when I travel by plane and my latest playlist. If I’m going on a business trip, I like to use the time for some additional preparations for meetings and other business ob- ligations. IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT WE MEN CARRY AS LITTLE LUGGAGE AS POSSIBLE. Besides my laptop and phone, there is one more thing I don’t go anywhere without: that’s glo, the latest generation tobacco heating device. This is a BAT company innovation that ena- bles us smokers to enjoy a tobacco experience, though without the unpleasant odour and ash. I’VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE of living and working in London, Rome, Paris, Athens and Riga... Every place has something different. I love London for its diversity and the vast amount of cultural experienc- es, Paris for its food, wine and ambience, and of course Athens and the Greek islands. I LOVE THE PEOPLE IN BELGRADE. I have worked and lived in many countries and amassed a lot of professional experience, but rarely have I had the opportunity to meet such friendly and warm people as I have in Belgrade. I like the streets of Belgrade, the at- mosphere, which is just as I like, and of course the great food and restaurants. Belgrade is a lively, vibrant and child-friendly city.
