Career history:
Nov 2010– Present CEO of Dr DM Ltd
He established above mentioned company, where he has been planning and managing different research and development societal projects, in order to provide holistic approach to contemporary societies. His main goal is to assist customers in achieving proper societal security conditions for the sustainable development.
Oct 2006–Oct 2010 SME for the Joint Operations
As an SME and an Observer/Trainer he had an opportunity to gain an experience in managing groups comprised of personnel from many nations, competencies, backgrounds and experiences.
As an Event manager, OPR for the exercise and Chief MEL/MIL was managing activities that includes planning, organizing and running NATO meetings, exercises and conferences.
He has been involved in more than dozen of NRF and ISAF exercises, in all exercise phases, dealing with the complex security documentation, operational planning process,joint coordination process and joint assessment of the force effectiveness. He was also Chief of a Joint training team for the Joint Force Commands.
Because of permanent development of an operational environment, continuous analysis of complex operational issues especially in relation to multinational and multi – agency work was his additional contribution to the overall NATO processes.
Jan 1999-Feb 2005 Head of Department for Operational Research and Simulations
He established and managed a national institution. The key task was to develop methodology for computer assisted exercises (combat and crisis response operations) and scientific military researches. He participated on many international exercises such as VIKING, SEESIM, and EURASIAN STAR etc.
He has been using method of Inverse Deduction where the theory and practice are in permanent interaction. For the needs of Comparative Analysis and interpretation of the local capabilities of the crisis area he has been using method of Multivariate Analysis (software SPSS) and simulations of CRO (simulation model JTLS, HORUS, JANUS, JCATS). Data bases have been mostly created and developed by the Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel and SPSS statistical program. Working methodologies have been used since 1998 with the peace operations in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo (“in the box research”) until now.
Afghanistan was studied from a distance (“out of the box”) since 2005 until now. The basic statistical unit which gives a holistic picture about capabilities in the area of complex emergency is municipality/province or district. With the cluster analysis the researcher can than easily monitor further developments upon efforts of International Community in certain societal security dimensions (monitoring of visible and measurable indicators in quantitative and qualitative way).
