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 is the Nursa Study product build: a net-new product taken from prototype to launch in a single weekend and developed into an enterprise platform. It demonstrates how AI-native product leadership can turn validated demand into a scalable product without lowering product or engineering standards.

That AI fluency sits on 16+ years across digital platforms, marketplaces, enterprise systems, and growth products. Through the Nursa marketplace platform, he connected scalable architecture with searchable inventory, self-service journeys, analytics, conversion flows, and organic acquisition. The through-line is product-led growth: platforms that scale because discovery, value, and expansion are designed into the product itself.

His range runs wider than most product leaders. He participated in Webflow Conf Chicago's opening keynote in 2023, then returned in 2024 to present Nursa's enterprise technology stack with CEO Curtis Anderson and Webflow's Peter Hsieh. Earlier, he spoke at UX Belgrade and joined Adobe's “Creatives vs. Tools” panel for 80+ designers and creative professionals. The complete speaking and teaching archive and publications and media archive document the source record.

Authority also shows up in how he develops other people. He lectured and evaluated work in SAE Institute Belgrade's UX/UI program and, according to organizer Milena Murganić, judged and mentored emerging designers at BEST Design Week. He also organized Behance reviews of 1,000+ people, brought 99U Local to Belgrade, founded Lege Artists, and helped make an award-winning film. Different arenas, one instinct: build what's missing.
