Justine PETERSEN Welcomes Kristo Baricevic
It’s a New Year with new faces at Justine PETERSEN! Kristo Baricevic joins our compliance department, bringing seasoned experience in systems operation and the like. As Compliance Associate, Kristo will be knee deep in the preparation and review of loan documents, and will also contribute to overall database management. Outside of the office, Kristo enjoys music, art and food (the lattermost, though, is also a staple pastime at the JP office for most). And: he drives a station wagon adorned with bumper stickers, which is also welcome at JP.
