Founder of Companies Connected
Đorđe Petrović
More than 200 family businesses have engaged him on questions of professionalisation, governance and succession.
For two decades he has worked with owners and successors on the questions that decide a company's fate: how to hand over control without losing it, how to professionalise without alienating the family, how to prepare the next generation to inherit not only the assets but also the ability to lead.

On stage and in the media
A voice for family businesses in public
Đorđe regularly speaks about why family firms carry the largest share of the region's economy — and why they fade most quietly precisely at the moment of generational change. His talks combine hard business logic with an understanding of family relationships.
