Strahinja Jovanovic has spoken at Supply Chain Summit Belgrade, KOPEX Seoul and GITEX Global Dubai on availability, q-commerce distribution and AI in operations. Every talk is built from work he ran himself, at volumes from 300 to over 4,000 orders a day.
Below: the operating record the talks come from, the five sessions available, and how to book.
Strahinja Jovanović · Founder · Belgrade
Fifteen years, and none of it from the outside. Each line below is an operating role, not an advisory one.
Supply chain for a leading US brand in the baby products category: demand planning, international purchasing, imports, Shopify order flow, fulfillment and daily reporting run as one system. Across engagements, daily volumes have ranged from 300 to over 4,000 orders. Largest team led: 18 people, multicultural, across markets.
Supply chain leadership across a large digital assortment, multiple fulfillment locations and hundreds of suppliers, in an environment where an ordering mistake on Monday is in the bin by Thursday. There is no warehouse to hide a bad forecast in. Brands in that environment included Nestlé, Milka and Kinder.
Supply chain, commodity buying and packaging inputs for an official McDonald's and Nestlé vendor, one of four European suppliers of sweet products to McDonald's. Separately: procurement of approximately 400 metric tonnes of aluminium a month, with London Metal Exchange monitoring and price fixing, leading a team of eight.
Custom product development from idea through production to delivery coordination, with manufacturing partners serving some of the world's leading premium home and kitchen brands. Retail counterparties across the career include Metro, Delhaize, Mercator and Tesco.
Co-founder and COO of a platform business acquired by a Fortune 500 company in 2019. Which means the diligence questions a buyer asks about operations are not theoretical here. they have been answered from the other side of the table.
Strahinja runs an eCommerce brand selling cast iron cookware, knives and herbal teas. He places purchase orders with his own money, carries his own stock, and stocks out too. That is why nothing here is theory.
Speaker, Supply Chain Summit Belgrade 2026, on how q-commerce is changing traditional FMCG distribution: inventory placement, availability management, local demand planning, supplier performance and customer expectations.
Speaker on building more resilient supply chains across Asia, Europe and the United States: international sourcing, supply chain resilience, geographic diversification, supplier risk and maintaining operational stability across global markets.
Represented Serbian business and AI innovation at GITEX Global, one of the world's largest technology events, contributing practical perspectives on AI in supply chain, eCommerce and business transformation.
A slide from the Belgrade talk: the city as customers see it, and the same city as a q-commerce supply network sees it. Fulfillment points, delivery zones and demand signals. Two views of the same streets, and the gap between them is where availability is won or lost.
Preparation, risk management, discipline, pacing, buffers, resilience, and making decisions before a problem becomes critical. Strahinja has finished an IRONMAN, run marathons and climbed Kilimanjaro. The talk is built on the one thing endurance sport and supply chain share: the outcome is decided by what you did months before the day anyone was watching.
Why product availability is not only a supply chain KPI. It directly affects customer experience, revenue, marketing efficiency, retention, and the ability of a business to scale.
How companies use AI and automation to identify supply risks, control supplier performance, improve reporting, reduce repetitive work, and help teams make faster decisions.
How growing eCommerce businesses connect demand planning, purchasing, inventory, fulfillment, marketing, supplier management, cash flow and reporting into one operating system.
How local fulfillment, dark stores, rapid delivery, digital assortment and real-time customer demand are changing traditional FMCG distribution and inventory planning.
