WestPac Wealth Partners, the company founded by Nash Subotic, who traces back his origins to the Balkans, has been selected the best employer among the medium-sized companies in the USA for this year.

This is the ranking that Fortune.com realizes each year in cooperation with the analytics company Great Place to Work, and it entails three lists, each with 100 best companies to work at, by their size – large, medium and small ones.

Nash Subotic, whom Forbes Srbija recently interviewed, was born in Sarajevo, and after the outbreak of the civil war in Yugoslavia, he spent a part of his life in Belgrade, where he played basketball for the Red Star club.

He then set off across the Atlantic and the Pacific and studied at the University of Hawai’i, following which he entered the world of finance. He founded the company WestPac Wealth Partners, which manages funds of wealthy and successful people in the amount of as much as USD 3.7 billion. However, the core of WestPac’s business is not investing the money of those who have it, but primarily protecting and preserving their wealth.

What’s especially interesting when it comes to this company is that it gathers around 20 people from our region. Immediately after the launching of his own company, Subotic invited his friends there. One of them was Marko Mijuskovic, whom he went to the faculty with, as well as Aleksandar Jakovljevic, who played for the faculty’s basketball team, whereas the third one was Vladimir Sasic, his former roommate.

Not their first time on the list

This is not the first time that WestPac has made the list of the 100 best employers among medium enterprises. They have been placing on the list regularly in the past several years. Last year, they were ninth, and in 2022, they were 43rd. In 2019, they placed seventh, then 11th in 2020 and 13th in 2021.

Marko Jaric

Recently, WestPac also drew attention from the public in Serbia due to the fact that the company had been joined by the former basketball player Marko Jaric. As Forbes Srbija reported, he will be in charge of business development in the domain of entertainment and sports.

--------------------------------
When it comes to this year’s list, the employees had the following to say about WestPac:

“The ‘abundance’ and team based mindset that is embedded into the culture adds so much value for our clients far beyond other financial services firms. The level, depth, and vast amount of training and development is invaluable. There is no shortage of resources to make business/life easier, and management continues to reinvest into the company for the sake of team members.”
