Vinikunka Peak, Rainbow Mountain, Andes, Peru – Age 64. Strategy demands perspective. This photo, taken at 5,036 meters above sea level, reflects the mindset I bring to every challenge: endurance, resilience, curiosity, and the drive to reach new heights – no matter the terrain.
With over 35 years navigating volatility across industries and continents, I equip boards and C-suites with the frameworks to turn disruption into advantage. My approach blends an operator’s grit with a strategist’s vision – honed in emerging markets and global boardrooms alike.
🧠 Who I Am
Drawing on extensive experience across Southern Africa, the Western Balkans, Nigeria, and Kenya, I have provided strategic counsel to a wide range of sectors – including construction, media, chemicals, banking, refractories, diversified manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, transport & logistics, and retail. My practical, grounded understanding stems from senior executive and general management roles held across two continents, enabling me to design and implement solutions in highly dynamic environments.
A former Fellow and Goodwill Ambassador of the Chartered Management Institute (UK) and now a member of the Advisory Board at the Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning and Innovation, my insights on strategic leadership have been featured in Strategy Magazine and The European Business Review. I am also the author of Strategic Management in the 21st Century, an e-book designed to equip leaders navigating the age of disruption.
Now based in Belgrade, Serbia, I continue to advise clients globally – with a core mission to empower leaders with the foresight, tools, and confidence to seize opportunity and drive resilient growth in an unpredictable world.
