Adnan Delić
Minister of EconomyAdnan Delić was born on October 6, 1985 in Doboj. He grew up in Maglaj, in a family home with his parents, older sister and younger brother. He is a member of the generation that grew up in the age before the Internet, and his childhood was a war and his earliest memories are connected to the beginning of the war.
He finished elementary school and high school in his native Maglaj, and then continued his studies in Sarajevo. Guided by his desires, he entered the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education at the University of Sarajevo.
Already at the beginning of his studies, he met his future wife, and in the second year of his studies he decided to get married. Shortly after the wedding, they had their first daughter, so they learned to balance student life with parenthood and providing for their livelihood. The company Andrea & Giovani, later Andrea & Company, gave him the opportunity for his first work experience, right at the beginning of his studies, where he worked in sales and business development. He stayed at this company for nine years, and today he is grateful for the experiences he gained during that period. They are invaluable. In those nine years, he simultaneously studied, worked and became a parent to another little girl.
For almost four years, that is, until the moment of candidacy for mayor of Novi Grad Sarajevo, he worked in management positions in one of the better-known IT companies. At that time, he also attended continuing education programs in the field of management at Adizes Leadership Programs.
In the past ten years, he began to be attracted to the idea of social engagement because he did not want to accept hopelessness and apathy, so he founded the Fair play association with a group of enthusiasts, which has been organizing the Fair play soccer league for adults and children for several years, and this also preceded the founding of a humanitarian organization Good.
During all those years and dozens of socially useful projects, he built attitudes and gained experiences that significantly shaped his life, so he was ready for the proposal to get involved in politics and decided that he wanted to take the risk that politics entails.
As the Minister of Economy of Sarajevo Canton, he faces new challenges every day. Creating a better business environment in the Canton is the basic job description of the Minister of Economy, and Minister Delić is fully committed to making it happen.
He is committed to continuous improvement, and in 2021 he enrolled in a master's degree in the field of HRM and knowledge management at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Sarajevo.

Zlatan Velić
Head of Membership growth, information centre, branch network and marketingIn 2011 BIHAMK was one of the first companies to implement a card web payment option, at the time with a fresh and new startup by the name "PikPay". So I was basically one of the pioneers and had to go thru all the stuff and challenges that being one of the first created. From the internal problems with the accounting department all the way to the clients sending us pictures of their cards, I've seen it all.
Since I was, and still am, head of web development, I have been a leading figure for all the website changes, new versions, new landing pages for specific sales projects, improvements in customer experience, and so many smaller and bigger things that had to be done in the back office on a daily basis so we could thrive in digital sales and marketing.
As the market for e-commerce was growing and maturing BIHAMK was always one the first to try out new ways of creating payments systems and trying to keep up with development, and that strategy enabled me to be working on projects such as integration with different M-banking apps (Sparkasse bank Sarajevo, BBI bank Sarajevo, Sber bank Sarajevo, etc.) which we integrated with our internal software solutions or integration with stand-alone local mobile payment app such as HU HU.
Also, I was in the front seat of enabling our members (customers) to pay us with only an SMS, with back office integration being done with local telecom operators and other private vendors.
One of my professional passions is definitely direct communication channels and their use in today's ever-changing world, so also from the beginning of my career, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work in an organization where direct communication is basically in everything that we do.
So, with the start of web sales, we started to focus heavily on digital communication systems so we had SMS communication sequences back in 2011 that was switched to an e-mail that was switched to Viber that were switched to today's Omni channel eco system of communication with members which enables us to learn what type of communication customer prefers and we communicate with them thru that.
This approach and relentless search for improvements and inovation in these fields have led us to the year 2019 where at the annual meet-up of all automobile clubs in Europe and Africa in Vienna, I received a "Marketing innovation award" for the use messaging apps in direct marketing/sales. Since this award is given on a "peer-to-peer voting" system from people inside the business, it is that much more rewarding.
