“Every word is an encounter.
Every story is a bridge.”
Asst. Prof. Dr. Eva Premk Bogataj
Writer. Professor. Strategist.
Bridge-builder between worlds.
As a writer, professor, and strategic communicator, I build bridges between knowledge and practice — between the symbolic and the systemic. My work explores how language and ethics can guide leadership, culture, and innovation in a time of transformation.
Meaning is not stored in a dictionary — it lives in vibrant relationships: in a glance that welcomes the other, in a question that opens past and future, in listening that creates new possibilities.
I come from a family of pioneering women in science — and from a lineage shaped by bold ideas, poetic minds, and integrity.
This heritage lives in me every day: as a writer and professor, strategist and storyteller, mother, artist, and athlete.
My path has never been linear — it has been luminous.
From the study of metaphysics in poetry to leading strategic communication in finance, culture, and sustainability,
I have learned that meaning, when practiced, becomes structure.
With a PhD in Slavic Literatures and decades of experience across academia, business, and the public sector,
I work at the intersection of words and worlds — transforming ideas into narratives that build trust, awareness, and impact.
I bridge theory and practice, research and intuition, bringing coherence to complexity and turning vision into tangible results.
A Global Perspective
7 Years Abroad. 8 Languages. Cross-Border Expertise.
With over seven years abroad, I bring strategic insight and intercultural fluency to every project.
Fluent in eight languages (C1–C2), I connect municipalities, ministries, NGOs, and cultural institutions — translating not just words, but worlds.
From Vision to Execution
250+ Events Annually. Marketing with Precision.
As a PR and Marketing Manager, I led the design and delivery of over 250 events per year — from cultural diplomacy with Chef Ana Roš to European campaigns on ethics, AI, and sustainability.
Every project became a living conversation — between people, ideas, and purpose.

Results That Resonate
65+ Projects/Year. Strategic Storytelling.
At Beletrina Academic Press, I led communication for over 65 European projects yearly, building a media reach of over 1.5 million.
We turned stories into systems — proof that cultural leadership can be both poetic and precise.

Moderating the Conversation
400+ Public Dialogues. Across Sectors and Cultures.
From literature to business, I’ve moderated over 400 public dialogues shaping cultural and institutional change.
My strength lies in creating spaces where insight becomes shared momentum.

Purpose-Driven Impact
Record CSR Results. Strategic Donations.
Within one year, our team reached record CSR outcomes — supporting humanitarian causes, schools, and environmental initiatives.
For me, strategy without compassion is incomplete.

Systemic Change from the Ground Up
Pioneering Organic Gardening. Zero Euro Ad Budget.
With eco-pioneer Sepp Holzer, I co-created Slovenia’s largest permaculture event. With no ad budget, we achieved record attendance — proving that meaning and participation are stronger than money.

Philosophy & Impact
I thrive where disciplines intersect — between culture, education, ethics, and sustainability.
My outlook is holistic, future-oriented, and deeply human.
Mountains are my mirror: they remind me of balance, perseverance, and light.
I ski, climb, and cycle through the seasons — always searching for new horizons, literal and symbolic.
What defines me is the ability to connect what others see as incompatible —
and to preserve meaning, warmth, and humanity in an age where technology redefines what is possible.
“Meaning is not something we create - it creates us.”
