AI-Native Operating Partner · Unicorn Advisory
The Operating Partner Behind Faster Raises, Leaner Teams & AI-First Growth.
I embed as your operating partner — collapsing the funding cycle, installing AI-first operating systems, and bringing senior executive leadership directly inside your company. The result is a lean team that does the work of one several times its size. Where a build calls for specialized hands, I bring in trusted external expertise.
The Gap Most Advisors Won't Close
Advice Is Cheap. Execution Is Everything.
Most advisors hand you a framework and leave. I stay until the work is done.
The Old Model
Consultants Who Advise
Slide decks, frameworks, and 90-day roadmaps that sit on a shelf while execution stalls and the window closes.
The Jovvi Model
Operators Who Build
Embedded C-suite leadership, AI operating systems, and investor-grade infrastructure — installed inside your company and running before I leave.
The Outcome
Unicorn-Pace Growth
Companies I work with raise faster, operate leaner, and scale with the infrastructure of companies three times their size.
Who I Work With
Built for Companies on the Verge of a Breakout
I work selectively with founders and executives who are ready to move fast and build right.
Pre-Seed to Series B
Founders preparing for or actively in a funding cycle who need investor-grade infrastructure fast.
Unicorn-Track Startups
High-velocity companies that need senior operating leadership without the full-time executive overhead.
AI-First Transformations
Established businesses replacing manual operations with AI systems to compete at a new level.
Venture-Backed Operators
Portfolio companies that need fractional C-suite to execute on board mandates and hit growth targets.
Just Starting Out?
From idea to funded — without the guesswork.
Starting a company is hard enough without wondering whether you set it up right. I help founders build on the right foundation from day one and reach real funding faster — explained in plain English, with no jargon and no consultant-speak.
When there's grant or loan money you qualify for, the biggest cost is usually time: months lost figuring out where to look, what to file, and how to package it. I collapse that timeline as much as possible, so you're funding-ready in weeks instead of quarters.

Proprietary AI Advantage
Jovvi Intelligence™
True AI-first is not a tool stack. It's an operating system — one where AI agents replace entire workflows, compress timelines from weeks to hours, and let a lean team do the work of one several times its size.
Every engagement I run is powered by an AI-first method that handles research, financial modeling, proposal development, and executive reporting at machine speed.

The Founder
Refugee. Scholar. Enterprise Executive. Founder.
I was born in Bosnia during the war and rebuilt in America on a scholarship. I was forged inside the enterprise — Carlson Companies, Fortune 500 boardrooms, and the full arc of a technology executive who has seen what separates companies that scale from companies that stall.
Jovvi Group exists because the best operating leadership shouldn't be reserved for companies that can afford a $400K executive. It should be available to every founder with the ambition to build something that matters.
