Vedran Obadić

Director of Corporate Planning and Controlling
Mlinar
I am a financial expert with over ten years of experience in finance, with a special focus on the FMCG industry. I hold a CFA title and have completed an Executive MBA program at Cotrugli Business School. Currently, I work as the Director of Corporate Planning and Controlling and as a Project Manager for Supply Chain Management at Mlinar Group. My responsibilities include strategic planning, which involves setting long-term business goals, analyzing market trends, and making data-driven decisions to ensure sustainable growth and competitive advantage. I am focused on optimizing business processes, improving operational efficiency, and developing financial models that allow for more precise forecasting and resource planning. Alongside strategic planning, I lead projects in supply chain management, focusing on inventory optimization, enhancing business operation efficiencies, and digitizing processes to meet the challenges of the modern market and increase business flexibility. Throughout my career, I have participated in numerous financial and strategic projects in retail, manufacturing, and the food industry, with a keen interest in innovations that can enhance business models not only in bakery but in the industry in general. Besides my professional career, I am a proud husband and father of a daughter, which helps me appreciate the importance of quality nutrition and sustainability in the industry from a different perspective.
