Product with a point of view.

Nenad Ivanovic is a product leader who builds with AI, leads teams to ship with it, and turns that speed into measurable growth. He was an early, practical adopter — putting AI to work across research, design, engineering, and testing in real enterprise work rather than demos — and treats prompting, context, and architecture as professional craft that raises a team's ceiling instead of replacing it.

The clearest proof: he built a net-new product from prototype to launch in a single weekend, and it now has paying enterprise customers. That result moved an entire 200+ person company all-in on building with AI — helping rebuild a seven-year core platform roughly 12x faster and letting non-technical teams build their own tools, retiring around ten SaaS systems along the way.

That AI fluency sits on 16+ years of product, design, and growth work across marketplaces, fintech, and healthcare. He has engineered large-scale organic growth and search systems, and led UX for Freja eID — connected to Sweden's first mobile electronic identity, built to GDPR and eIDAS standards — where high-trust products taught him that security UX isn't only about making a product safe; it's about helping people feel safe. The through-line is always the same: fast, credible products that move business metrics.

His range runs wider than most product leaders. He has taught a certified UX/UI course at SAE Institute, judged design competitions, keynoted at Webflow Conf, organized Behance reviews of 1,000+ people, brought 99U Local to Belgrade (one of just 28 cities worldwide), founded the nonprofit Lege Artists, and even helped make an award-winning film. Different arenas, one instinct: build what's missing.
