Bio of the Zeljko Rakic: I am a multilingual Business Excellence and Operational Leader with extensive global experience in the mining and chemical industries. I obtained a Mechanical Engineering diploma from the University of Belgrade in 1991 and began my professional career in the Europoort area of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Over nine years, I managed production at Caldic Europoort B.V.
My expertise in Lean Six Sigma took me to Montreal, Canada, where I worked at Alcan’s head office, a division of the multinational Rio Tinto. I addressed a broad range of issues across various departments. In 2017, I relocated to Saudi Arabia to serve as the Leading Master Black Belt for Ma’aden Aluminium, reporting directly to the company president. A year later, I became the Manager of Business Improvement at Sohar Aluminium in Oman, where I supervised the implementation of Lean Six Sigma for four years.
In 2022, family responsibilities brought me to Croatia, where I began serving as the Director of Operations for The Lean Six Sigma Company. In this role, I lead over 100 Lean Six Sigma experts worldwide and assist customers in successfully deploying Lean Six Sigma methodologies.
