My name is Milos.
I’m in love with shaping products, building up businesses, and working with(in) cross-functional teams.
I had a chance to help build up, re-shape and grow different businesses and (digital) products, wearing multiple hats to handle complex stakeholder relations and challenges.
Product & Organisation
Builder
Resilience Researcher
Haribo Brand Ambassador
Wannabe
Currently.
I work as independent expert in the field of Agile Product Management, Business Model Innovation and Change Management.
Some of the main focus-projects:
– Product Owner at a US startup with a portfolio of B2C products focused on automating and digitising support for moving, travel, IT and legal services.
– Product Owner at a UK startup developing 2 enterprise products for cloud management, with a large Telco and a Commodities Trading company as main clients.
– Product Manager at Crowdbotics, a platform powering product development at top organizations such as Facebook, Uber, McKinsey&Company, Berkley and Airbus, as well as scale ups and startups.
Previously.
I worked around 3 years as COO for a Danish market research startup, with 70% of my work focused on developing the ecosystem and maximising value of platforms we were developing (B2B platform for publishers who recruit survey takers + B2C platform for the survey takers on top). I was focused on finding new revenue streams, managing product vision, roadmap and strategy for the whole organisation, negotiating and coordinating integrations with new partners, setting up all workflow and overseeing launching of new products, survey panels and brands.
I also served 6 months as an Interim COO for a leading provider of education and consultancy within Agile in Serbia, focused on expanding service portfolio through partnerships with external trainers. Bonus: organised a conference for ca. 200 participants with 10 speakers from Europe and the U.S.
Learning
I'm a strong believer in lifelong learning and the interdisciplinary future. Besides, I'm a naturally curious person. I had a chance to study at 5 universities in different countries, take a path to Certified Scrum Professional, and try out many things that – at first – doesn't seeem connected. However, I feel this interesting skillset ranging from languages and marketing to innovation and product management is one of my main strengths.
