Bio

CEO and lead solution architect of CITUS, a software development company with a focus on new innovative products that utilize AI (Deep Learning, Cognitive Services, etc.), Mixed Reality, and Office/Microsoft 365 & Azure. Together with my team, I have won more than 80 international awards for innovation in our IT products all around the world, based on my 5 patents.

I have helped a lot of SMEs and large enterprise corporations, government organizations, and K12, and high-level education institutions in their digital transformation journey. As a trusted advisor for Croatian institutions, I am participating in efforts to create national and EU strategies in the field of AI, IoT, Cyber Security, and Cloud Computing.

As a Business Development Consultant, in the past 20 years, I have helped to found 10 Microsoft Innovation Centers in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and helped to create several National ICT Strategies.

I am a speaker at a number of IT, scientific and business conferences, Ph.D. candidate and lecturer at University College, author of IT-related scientific papers, and mentor to many students, MS Community members, and MVP candidates 😊. I have delivered many workshops from the Silicon Valley, Europe to Asia about different technologies both from architecture and deep technical point of view. I have been one of the founders of the Microsoft Community in Croatia and, as a Microsoft Regional Director and INETA Europe, VP for Communities (both more than 10 years in a row) helped to found a number of Microsoft Communities in Central & Eastern Europe. I am Microsoft Most Valuable Professional 17 years in a row, based on my recognized expertise and community work, including mentoring other speakers, Community Champs, today active MVP’s, and some of the Regional Directors that are part of the current RD program.
