I have known Michele over a decade, first in 2015 as director of a British retail park developer operating in SE Europe. He was executive managing director of retail development at EVE CREATIVE doo. in Belgrade. We worked together on retail park performance, tenant mix and food court optimisation to increase footfall and improve customer experience.
Michele showed strong commercial judgement and creativity, delivering leasing strategy, property management and EBITDA-focused improvements, including advisory work at Stadion Shopping Centre.
More recently I followed his move into foodservice innovation and franchising, scaling concepts and connecting physical retail with digital and delivery ecosystems. Highly capable, he has a strong track record of commercial and strategic delivery.
