Zoran Vizmeg
@zoranvizmeg
I lead scaling operations and technical programs to turn chaos into reliable systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations and Technical Program leader with 10+ years in software, specializing in scaling early- and growth-stage companies. I built the operational backbone that took CAKE.com from a 30-person startup to a 500+ employee, unicorn-valued SaaS—16x scale-up with 100%+ YoY growth.
I founded the PMO, rolled out company-wide OKR/KPI frameworks, and authored the Engineering Career Level Matrix that still governs IC progression. I lead programs that convert complexity into scalable systems—especially when teams are blocked by bottlenecks or misaligned execution.
At CAKE.com, I initiated and led the monolith-to-microservices transformation, secured VP-level alignment, and decomposed the codebase by product domain to enable independent deployment pipelines and parallel engineering velocity. I also architected the Product Operations system for a unified 7-product bundle—driving product intake frameworks, an executive Portfolio Board, and cross-product unification—plus I bring an AI-first approach to multiply small-team throughput.
