Curriculum vitae of
Petar Stipanovic
Summary
Watching the impact that social media creates in daily life interests me infinitely, as does the advancement of technology. In my years in this industry, I have assisted many organisations to establish a web presence and leverage social media to drive sales.
In addition to setting up and establishing a presence, I have also taught both groups, and individuals at senior management level, about the implications of social media and its impact on business. This includes how they can leverage technology to increase profit margins.
