About

Knowledge is my biggest passion, and I'm lucky to run a business built around gaining, creating and sharing it.

My online school, pmclub, has helped more than 30,000 project and product managers sharpen their skills. We teach a minimalist approach to management, and in April 2026 my wife and I put it into a book, Keep It Simple! Project Management with P3.express (RU). It has already sold 3,000 print copies.

In October 2026 I spoke at TEDxSavski Venac with the talk “P3.express Method: Keep It Simple, Make It Big”.

Get in touch if you'd like to talk about the book or invite me onto a podcast or a stage.

Outside work, I'm learning Esperanto and playing chess. I write by hand whenever I can, love doodling and read plenty of fiction. I live in Belgrade with my wife, Valeria, who is also my business partner and co-author, and our three cats. The cats do nothing all day, but they're cute, and I love them too.
