Business operations leader at COMPASS, building an AI-first operating model and governance system.
CroatiaWhat I'm looking for
At COMPASS, I co-founded an independent EU digital regulation monitoring NGO and built its AI-first operating model, including a web platform, analytics, governance documentation, and volunteer recruitment system. I also authored the statute and 15 board-adopted policies.
At Innovo Consulting, I founded and ran the consultancy, then pivoted it into technical staff augmentation, placing 23 IT professionals in the DACH market. Monthly recurring revenue grew 218% in the first four months, with 1101% ROI by year-end.
At Infobip, I led a 50+ person organisation across five continents with a $2.3M annual budget and full P&L ownership. Earlier, at Teva Pharmaceuticals, I set delivery and governance for a clinical finance system across 37 sites and 15 countries, and reduced the forecasting cycle from one week to two hours.
