About Ognjen

QUANTITATIVE OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE & FRACTIONAL COO
Real-Time EBITDA Protection for Private Equity Portfolios

Most metrics are autopsy reports with a 30-day delay; I eliminate this latency. As a Fractional COO & Operations Architect, I bridge the gap between shop floors and C-suite strategy. Converging Industrial Engineering with computational risk modeling, I treat physical production lines as financial derivatives—mathematically shielding assets from macro shocks.

Specialties: Mid-market turnarounds, Operational Due Diligence (ODD), and post-acquisition portfolio optimization for PE firms.

⚙️ METHODOLOGY: mSIPOC 2.0 (Patent Pending)
An autonomous data kernel bypassing manual reporting latencies:
• Sovereign In-Memory Processing: Ingests 25.6 kHz telemetry into bare-metal. Solves Hawkes-Merton SDEs within a 1,499.90-ns floor [O(1) complexity], stopping drifts before financial leakage.
• Edge Orchestration (IEC 61499): Bypasses legacy IT middleware via Eclipse 4diac FORTE nodes, executing hardware interrupts within microseconds of hazard breach.
• Zero-Touch ERP Hardwiring: Asynchronously writes prescriptive tokens into SAP PM/MM/PP modules, forcing instant balance sheet alignment.

📊 QUANTIFIED TRACK RECORD & IMPACT
• €12.97M EBITDA Shielding: Led heavy-industry operations (70+ headcount). Embedded stochastic models (Merton/Hawkes) into telemetry, automating prescriptive protocols to preserve €12.97M EBITDA during macro shocks.
• Asymmetric ROI: Isolated stress vectors before SCADA drift detection. Executed a €50 software intervention, delivering €90,000 in quantified avoided failure costs.
• Process Scaling: Scaled global output across 27 countries by 300% with zero headcount growth via asynchronous pipelines.

TECH STACK: C++, Eclipse 4diac FORTE (IEC 61499), SAP ERP, Stochastic Calculus (SDEs), Lean/TPS.

Experience

  • Virtus Flow Ops
    Fractional COO & Operations Architect
    January 2026 - Today (5 months)
    • Problem: Mid-market PE/VC industrial portfolio companies frequently suffer from severe structural EBITDA leakage due to legacy, high-latency operational workflows and manual data manipulation before C-suite review.
    • Action: Deployed patent-pending mSIPOC 2.0 frameworks and distributed IEC 61499 automation layers via Eclipse 4diac FORTE runtime nodes, migrating legacy processes into prescriptive, algorithmic execution models.
    • Result: Successfully transitioned client legacy operations into Industry 5.0 frameworks, hardwiring physical events into enterprise SAP layers and collapsing C-suite decision times to sub-microseconds to maximize exit valuations

  • INAT CENTRE
    Senior Operational Advisor
    PUBLIC SECTOR
    February 2017 - July 2022 (5 years and 5 months)
    • Problem: Managing highly fragmented, cross-functional virtual teams across 27 countries created massive synchronization drag, time-zone latencies, and bloated administrative overhead that restricted scalable delivery.
    • Action: Engineered a rigid digital architecture and automated, asynchronous operational workflows, standardizing global communication protocols and disciplined operational rhythms to eliminate real-time meeting dependencies.
    • Result: Scaled virtual operational metrics by 300% (from 250 to 750 participants) with zero increase in administrative headcount, embedding permanent, self-sustaining operational efficiency into the business model.

  • Vital a.d.
    Technical Director of Operations & Maintenance Strategy
    November 2015 - November 2025 (10 years)
    Vrbas, JC, Serbia
    • Problem: The heavy industrial facility faced intense margin pressure from volatile raw material costs. Operations ran as a reactive center with a 30-day reporting delay, exposing assets to unmapped failure risks and a potential €12.97M EBITDA collapse.
    • Action: Led a 70+ multidisciplinary engineering department. Embedded stochastic risk models (Merton Jump-Diffusion and Hawkes processes) directly into production telemetry and deployed custom protocols to align raw shop-floor data with enterprise SAP PM/MM/PP modules.
    • Result: Secured €12.97M Eur in preserved EBITDA during extreme macro shocks via automated prescriptive protocols. Executed a targeted €50 software intervention that delivered €90,000 in avoided failure costs and boosted manufacturing OEE by 12%.
