About the Speakers

Nikola Gladovic — At the moment, Nikola leads large teams out of the HTEC Belgrade office, working on some of the most challenging and important technologies in the transportation, logistics and retail domain. Among other projects, Nikola leads our cooperation with Ananas, onboarding a large team in a very short period of time and at the same time securing world-class delivery and results. Nikola started his career as a software engineer and before joining HTEC he was the CTO of an outsourcing and game development company. He was in charge of developing the technology, leading engineering efforts and assessing and validating product ideas. This made his move to HTEC an obvious choice. 

Vojislav Mokric — Vojislav started as Embedded System Engineer before joining HTEC where he worked his way up to Project Manager and then Product Owner, leading a cross-functional team of engineers engaged on creating solutions across industries including logistics and supply chain. Vojislav is a Product Owner engaged with Reef technology, one of the fastest growing startups in the USA aiming to transform the underutilized urban spaces into hubs that connect people to locally curated goods, services, and experiences. He is also currently working on developing Ananas solution — the Amazon of the SSE. Vojislav has been an integral part of HTEC Group for more than nine years. Starting as an embedded systems engineer, he quickly assumed more and more responsibilities, first as a project manager, then product owner, and most recently Engineering and Delivery manager.
