Sanja
COO/Managing Director - Serbia - iCEO #98455

Experience

C-Suite Transformation Executive with a proven track record in leading end-to-end legal mergers, operational turnarounds, and comprehensive Post-Merger Integration (PMI). Specialized in aligning corporate governance, process sizing, and core technology infrastructures within highly regulated, multinational environments.

Major Achievements

As COO, I orchestrated the end-to-end legal, operational, and post-merger integration of two companies, managing 1,500+ FTEs and a €30M+ budget. Following the legal merger, I successfully steered a 9-month transition where the company operated daily across 2 separate core systems under strict regulatory reporting, while simultaneously driving process and culture transformation to migrate both legacy platforms into a single enterprise ecosystem.
