23 years in technology. Multiple companies built, scaled, and sold. Now focused on one thing: helping CFO teams work smarter.
After 23 years building and leading technology companies — including serving as Country Head at EPAM Systems and Managing Director at Emakina.HR — I made a deliberate move into FP&A transformation consulting.
I've spent two decades watching finance teams struggle with the same problems: too many spreadsheets, too little visibility, and planning cycles that consume weeks every quarter. The technology to fix this has existed for years. What's been missing is someone who understands both the finance side and the technology side deeply enough to bridge the gap.
That's what Ascendo does. We don't just implement software — we redesign how your finance function works, then put the right tools in place to make that new way of working sustainable.
As a certified Farseer implementation partner, I bring the technical depth to deliver complex FP&A projects and the executive perspective to speak the language of finance leadership.
Launched FP&A transformation consulting practice. Farseer Implementation Partner for Western Europe.
Led EPAM Croatia, managing a 60+ person digital delivery unit. Oversaw post-acquisition integration of Emakina.HR into EPAM's global operations.
Appointed MD following acquisition of Endora. Led end-to-end delivery, business development, and team scaling for regional and international clients.
Built a custom software development company from the ground up. Secured external investment in 2009. Successfully exited via acquisition by Emakina Group.
Founded an early-stage web development studio. Built proprietary CMS, design framework, and hosting infrastructure.
We never recommend a solution before we understand the problem. Every engagement starts with a thorough discovery of how your finance team actually works today.
A successful implementation that nobody uses is a failed project. We measure success by adoption, time saved, and decisions improved — not go-live dates.
Fixed scope, fixed price, clear timeline. If something changes, we tell you before it affects the budget. Every engagement is managed with full transparency.
We build for the next five years, not the next demo. That means documentation, knowledge transfer, and making sure your team can own the system independently.
Let's have an honest conversation about your FP&A challenges — no pitch, no pressure.
