Olivera Nikolic /

Operations Manager

Head of Operations & Logistics

Olivera started music at age 6, made her concert debut at age 7 and pursued her career in music resulting in completing her Master’s in Music at the University of Witwatersrand. She has performed and taught across South Africa and Europe for two decades and collaborated with the world’s best musicians, composers, teachers, professors, and specialists in her field of music. Her passion for South African people allowed her to teach and bring classical music to the poorest of rural communities around South Africa for over fifteen years. Olivera joined Dr Alek’s brand and his sk.in team in 2018 and then the SkinMiles team in 2019.

“You always hear of the “delicate, sensitive artist.” I assure you that it takes the nerves of a bullfighter, the digestion of a peasant, the vitality of a nightclub hostess, the tact of a diplomat, and the concentration of a Tibetan monk to lead the strenuous life of a virtuoso.”  – Olivera feels her transformation in career path has not changed – only the position in life’s orchestra.
