I am a Ph.D. fellow at the Department of International Economics, Government and Business at CBS. In my current research, I focus on the design and effectiveness of Industry 4.0 ecosystems, particularly on how different sources of funding impact successful R&D, technological innovation, and adoption within these ecosystems. My research links to the technological change and digital transformation societal challenge the EGB department addresses. I have taught mixed-method research design and advanced methods in problem-solving. I spend part of my fellowship at the Politecnico di Milano School of Management.
Before joining CBS, I worked for the Government of North Macedonia as an advisor on international economy, FDIs, and green finance and was a board member of the Free Economic Zones. I have also consulted for EBDR, FAO, PwC, GiZ, and various private firms.
