Zoran Kovacevic is the CEO and Co-Founder of Minted Teddy. At heart, he considers himself a builder: of companies, relationships, and products. He has a particular interest in emerging technologies, including crypto, mixed reality, and AI. Previously, he co-founded Ready, an app-free, mobile payment and ordering platform for the hospitality industry. Prior to this, his career spanned a broad cross-section of sectors focused on both technological and experiential innovation. He is also leading the build of the PlayAlchemist installation, an iconic international Burning Man camp, and community where he nurtures his love for art and music. Zoran holds an MBA from Queen's University and is a popular instructor for the business program at Cornerstone College in Vancouver. He also serves on the board of directors of the Vancouver Community College Foundation, which is spearheading a plan to design a sustainable business model for the next 100 years of the college and campus real estate development. And of course, Zoran loves toys; he believes that we can create a better future through mindfully designed toys. He considers his 8-year-old son to be one of his most insightful and curious advisors.
