As an automotive design studio, we have come to know Marko as an honest and free-thinking strategist for the future, with a special vision of passenger comfort in autonomous driving.
For our joint project we were welcomed by the C-suite, given guided tours of the brains and guts of the company and were able to spar 1 one 1 with their design team. This inspired our collaboration enormously.
As a chief of strategy, he set the bar very high, but also left both teams completely free in their own way. Several brainstorming sessions and interviews later, that method led to an exceptional collection of ideas and concepts. As an entrepreneur and designer I have the highest respect for Marko.
I worked very closely with Marko on strategic projects for many years and I could always count on his knowledge and experience in innovation strategy, global marketing communication and sustainable change management.
His stamina to inspire a strong team, to manage challenging times and to drive change makes him a highly valuable leader. He is a passionate advocate for change and new visions and has a wide range of tools available. Shaping the future across various industries with visual workshops, innovation camps or position papers is not just a slogan for him - it is his passion! Everybody can be happy to have Marko on the team
As global lead for ergonomics, usability and design, I have been working with Marko in his strategic role for a few years now. Coming from the corporate level overseeing cross-divisional product strategy and marketing, he quickly promoted that we could achieve much more acting together as a cross-functional team. Marko was always a sensible and smart sparring partner in our research projects.
When he initiated the mgmt board project PURE, he came to my team with the outline of a quite unique design brief, and we collaborated over the course of the project realization. Its results were and are deeply appreciated for their visionary content and refined executed design.
You can turn to Marko for any open-innovation cross-industry challenge on sustainable innovation!
