ABOUT DRAZEN KERZAN

I develop resilient, curious teams that deliver—through clear goals, psychological safety, and crisp execution. My approach has been forged under pressure, in competitive arenas, across service-led operations, while coaching young athletes, and when earning community consensus. The throughline: candid communication, earned trust, and outcomes that last.Cross-functional by default, I partner with Sales, Product, and Engineering to turn complex technology business goals — spanning global connectivity & performance, data/AI, and security — into reliable, simple solutions customers can feel. I hire for character, coach for growth, and remove friction so people can do the best work of their careers.How I Lead • Steady in high stakes: composed decisions, concise comms, consistent follow-through. • Service & standards: operational rigor and pride in delivery. • People growth: continuous coaching, candid feedback, visible paths. • Candour & ownership: open by default, accountable, shared wins.Highlights • Scaled EMEA Solutions Engineering from 1 → 6 in two years; later led a 7-person org supporting strategic accounts. • Executive-level presenter for enterprise brands (e.g, Porsche, Regus, Amazon) and enablement lead for partners including Microsoft Azure, Telia, Vodafone, and Verizon. • Org builder: recruiting, onboarding, career frameworks, continuous training/certification; trusted escalation point who mitigates risk early. • Product ally: contributes to roadmap and quarterly planning; frequent conference speaker and evangelist.What I valueTransparency and open dialogue • Trust and follow-through • Coaching and growth • Operational excellence with a service mindset • Curiosity and continuous learning • A bit of humour to keep us human.Let’s connectIf you’re scaling SE across EMEA, advancing go-to-market for global connectivity & performance, AI, or security — or building a culture where people and performance rise together — I’d love to compare notes.
