Experience
- Virtus Flow OpsFractional COO & Operations ArchitectJanuary 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 CENTRESenior Operational AdvisorPUBLIC SECTORFebruary 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 StrategyNovember 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%.
