About

There is this fable about the eagle who was hatched between the chickens. You don't know you can fly because the chickens around you define you.

Did you ever feel like that?

Once the eagle found his eagles, she realized she could soar!

Finding your eagles gives you more opportunities, clients, or partners faster. That is the essence of #positioning.


Your product or your service is unique. So is your professional identity. A one-size-fits-all solution, a magic playbook, is a myth we have all been sold into.

Designing a go-to-market strategy, tactics, and execution is like building a house. You need to do it all at the same time.

Building as a system in construction and architecture means focusing on how all the components of a building interact. It includes everything from the exterior to the interior, including connections to municipal sewer lines and electrical grids.

Building a go-to-market system includes everything from brand strategy to business model, marketing strategy, operations, internationalization, sales, pricing, traction channels, routes to market, tactics, and execution.

That is why I work at the intersection of PRODUCT, MARKETING, and PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY in the digital-first and AI world.

I call myself a Go-to-market Designer.

→ My way is execution over tactics and principles over methods.
→ Most strategies fail at implementation, and growth stalls because of poor operations.
→ Killer go-to-market strategies are designed with execution in mind. They always win over great products.


If we've met, you know I smile a lot, am brutally honest, and nudge people out of their comfort zones.

My superpower is curiosity mixed with a ton of hands-on experience:
→ Designed 100s go-to-market strategies and launched 20+ entirely new products across 7 industries, end-to-end
→ Prepared and executed 1.000+ go-to-market and launch plans
→ Coached 200+ experts to build their professional online identity in 30+ cohorts

What else should you know about me?
→ My name is pronounced "yas-na," and it means CLEAR - I'm always on this mission to clarify things because I'm a "why" person, and I drive some people crazy with that.
→ Live in the suburbs on the sunny side of the Alps, where I organize #LinkedInLocal.
→ My outdoor passions are dog walking, hiking, skiing, and sailing - I used to race in all W's Croatian sailing team.
→ I'm ENTJ-A (1%) - finding innovative, long-term solutions to problems comes naturally to me.


Starting new things is a risky business. Are you ready to go faster and avoid many mistakes?

Let's do it together.
DM me.

      If you want to be successful with your launches, follow only 2 principles:


      1. 𝗔 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗼-𝘁𝗼-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁!

      There are a lot of methods out there, but principles are a few.

      If you grasp principles, you can successfully select your methods.


      A good architect will not only design the exterior and interior of your house.

      She will also focus on how all the components of the building interact, including connections to municipal sewer lines and electrical grids.

      Designing a go-to-market strategy, tactics, and execution is like building a house. You need to do it ͟a͟l͟l͟ ͟a͟t͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟s͟a͟m͟e͟ ͟t͟i͟m͟e͟.͟

      Building your go-to-market system includes everything:
      → brand strategy
      → business model
      → market
      → marketing strategy
      → data strategy
      → product strategy
      → pricing
      → routes to market
      → traction channels
      → sales
      → customer success
      → operations
      → revenue operations
      → internationalization
      → tactics, and execution.


      Go-to-market strategies that are not designed with execution in mind fail badly.

      Most strategies fail at implementation and growth stalls because of poor operations.

      The situation without having any strategy is even worse.

      Be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of you and your team.

      Hiring specialists too early can backfire.
      Or not having a generalist to coordinate the specialists.

      As a multipractic marketeer launching more than 20 new products in B2B and B2C in financial services, publishing, software/development services, IoT, and fintech gives me a large toolbox to make shortcuts when designing a go-to-market strategy.

  • ARE YOU DIGITALLYDEAD? 9 Simple Actions to Get You Out of the Digitallydead Bubble

    ARE YOU DIGITALLYDEAD?

    Stepping out of my MarTech bubble I discovered there is a large group of experts and creatives who are digitally invisible and it is hard for them to navigate in the digital landscape.

    1. You never got curious to google yourself.
    2. You are a firm believer in “Humility speaks the truth.”
    3. Finding people and things online does not come easy to you.

    1. You never got curious to google yourself.
    2. You are a firm believer in “Humility speaks the truth.”
    3. Finding people and things online does not come easy to you.
    4. Your contacts are stored on your phone only.
    5. You still think that LinkedIn is for those from tech or searching for a job.
    6. You mostly coordinate your projects over e-mail and at meetings or over coffee.
    7. Finding and attending online and offline events and meeting new people does not come naturally to you.
    8. People who are posting or commenting on social media have no other work to do.
    9. You do not take planned actions to improve your social selling index.

    Get to Speed Fast and Learn from the People Who Have Done it Before
    Speed is a competitive weapon when designing new products or bringing products to new markets. There is no size fits all solution but if you understand some general building blocks you will be able to move much faster: do your homework and begin with the end in mind, take your time to connect the dots, orchestrate and align, build your GTM machine (from 0 to 1 and from 1 to n). If you are new to GTM find all the resources in “Why a Killer GTM Always Wins.”
    In order to design a successful Go-to-Market fast, you have to consider all the pieces of the puzzle and create a GTM strategy coordinated with the product, business, and operational functions and aligned with current market situation and customer insights. It seems that the best way to get to speed fast is to learn from people who have done it before. The fastest approach is to start with a hypothesis and validate it or not. And move to the next one. Simply — there are no shortcuts

    November 19, 2019 | Zakaj je izjemna strategija prihoda na trg boljša od odličnega produkta @LUI, Ljubljanski univerzitetni inkubator

    About this workshop
    You can have an amazing product that is technically superior but without having the right access to the market you will lose. The sad story is that a large company with a better distribution system launches something far inferior and wins. That is why a killer Go-to-market always wins over a great product. If you understand the importance of Go-to-market strategy and how you can build a suitable machine before you launch a new product, enter new markets or open new channels that will give you an unfair competitive advantage in your execution and the possibility to write your version of David and Goliath story.

    During this workshop you will be discussing:
    - Why designing a Go To Market (GTM) matters
    - How do we build business models for GTM (which sales routes for selected segments and products)
    - How do we know we have Product Market Fit (PMF)
    - Which methods and tools are best before PMF and after PMF,
    - Creating marketing and sales tools - where to start

    The end-user era is a new way and the growth model relies now on the product itself as the primary driver of customer acquisition, conversion, and expansion.

    The CIO era and executive era is the old game of selling vs the consumerization of IT is the new game. So you would hire sales last when in the old times they would be the first.

    Looking forward to a group discussion and Matic Užmah thank you for having me.
