Background

About Ante Baric

I am passionate about growing businesses. With over 25 years of experience in international hospitality, I have led expansion strategies, built new business models, performed business transformations and asset management assignments, and executed capital and asset-light transactions. I have lived and worked across 3 continents, North America, Europe, and Asia, and performed work across 30 countries. While specializing in hospitality real estate, I carry a multi-layered profile – a corporate finance mindset in love with the dynamics of hospitality. I was privileged to have worked both on the hotel investment side and the hotel chain side, and experience the differences in perspectives when it comes to building, operating, and transacting hotels. As the Chief Executive Officer of Liburnia Hotels & Villas, I take immense pride in leading the organization with a rich heritage spanning over 75 years in the dynamic world of hospitality. At the helm, my role extends beyond leadership; it is a commitment to preserving our legacy while driving transformative growth and fostering a culture of excellence. In this exciting journey, I navigate the intricate tapestry of our iconic properties, each a hallmark of excellence in its respective destination. Together with a passionate team, we weave a narrative of unparalleled guest experiences and set new benchmarks in the hospitality of the region.
