About
Dr Aleksandar Josipović, DBA
I am a strategic advisor and keynote speaker based in Dubai and Hong Kong, working with founders, boards and leadership teams on positioning, innovation adoption and international growth.
My career began in the international performing arts, where I have worked for 25 years, alongside my work as an entrepreneur. Both taught me that ideas create value only when people act on them.
I have worked across Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Africa, in MedTech and healthcare, B2B technology, premium hospitality and wellness, consumer and luxury, and investment and holding companies.
As a DBA, I bring research into practice: why does so much innovation fail to create business value, and how can that gap be closed?
