Biography

Nenad and his businesses (founded in 2009 in Vienna, Austria) currently advise global and regional directors of over 500 multinational corporations via various subscription programs. Approximately 90% of clients are multinationals from the Fortune 500 and FT 500 lists. He is the founder and president of Global Success Advisors, which is (via “Global Trusted Advisor” agreements) helping global executive leadership teams anticipate the impact of geopolitical, economic and business megatrends and understand outlooks for various markets around the world. He is also founder and president of the EMEA Business Group (corporate subscription program for regional presidents running Europe, Middle East and Africa), helping executives understand economic, (geo)political and business outlooks for EMEA markets via country reports, global economy reports, regional presidents’ meetings across Europe/Dubai, corporate benchmarking surveys and one-on-one speeches/consultations.

Nenad is the author of acclaimed books such as “The Future of Business in Emerging Markets: Growth Strategies for Growth Markets”, “The Global Economy”, lead author of “Emerging Markets: Lessons for Business Success and Outlook for Different Markets” (two editions), and a contributor to the book “The Future of Money”. He is the lead author of the new book/special report on “The Rise of China and Chinese Multinationals” designed to help incumbent “western” multinationals properly understand the rising threat of Chinese competition. He is one of the world’s leading authorities on economic, geopolitical, political and business issues that concern multinational corporations seeking faster growth internationally. He performs hundreds of speeches per year at various corporate meetings (F2F and virtual) on issues ranging from global, regional and country level economic/business outlooks, to best business practices for international growth. In corporate circles he is well-known for not using any notes or power point slides while speaking and engaging in discussion.

Nenad is a former Executive Vice President of The Economist Group (Economist Intelligence Unit) where he spent nineteen years between 1990 and 2009, advising multinationals on economic and business issues and managing several business units globally (including Economist’s corporate advisory and government-related businesses). He chaired over 100 Economist Government Roundtables with Prime Ministers/Presidents and their cabinets throughout Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

He is guest faculty at Duke Corporate Education (globally no. 1 provider of corporate education) and a number of corporate universities/learning programs. Nenad was until recently the Supervisory Board member of the Center for Creative Leadership (globally no. 1 provider of leadership education). He studied economics, international business and finance in Vienna. Nenad lives with his wife and three daughters near Vienna and partly on an island near Dubrovnik. He spends his rare free time mostly with his family, but occasionally sneaks out to play basketball, tennis and golf.
