Lisa Matijevich brings a rich blend of culture and experience to the team, with a mix of Croatian, Kiwi, and Australian heritage. She’s still close with friends she met in primary school—proof that she knows how to nurture relationships for the long haul.
Starting her career as a florist at 17, she quickly discovered a love for celebrating people’s milestones (though not so much the heavy lifting!). From there, she moved into sales, making her mark in the industry early on by managing sales in Melbourne. Back in New Zealand, she spent over 15 years at Office Products Depot, where her knack for relationship-building and sales excellence earned her multiple awards.
It was during her time at Warehouse Stationery’s B2B division that she first crossed paths with Buro chairs, and it’s safe to say she’s become quite the chair expert since. Now at Buro, she loves nothing more than helping customers find the perfect chair.
These days, she’s enjoying the country life in Huapai, swapping the city traffic commute for serene drives past cows and sheep. She’s even taken up gardening, nurturing herbs, tomatoes, and flowers from seedlings. Whether she’s growing plants or helping customers, Lisa has a way of making things flourish.
