Our Story...
CEO advisory groups exist for one reason:
to give leaders what they rarely have—honest perspective, structured thinking, and a powerful circle that moves them forward.Because the truth is simple:
the quality of your decisions depends on the quality of the room you are in.
CEO Advisory Groups was founded with a simple but powerful belief: leadership should not be a lonely journey.
Behind the organization stand two entrepreneurs — Milea Djulanc and Mitja Jakopic — who recognized a common challenge among business leaders. No matter how successful, CEOs often operate in isolation, making high-stakes decisions without a trusted circle to challenge, support, and guide them
Milea, through years of working closely with business owners and executives, saw firsthand that growth is not limited by strategy or opportunity but by perspective. Mitja, with his international business experience, understood that the right environment and the right people can accelerate clarity, confidence, and results.
Together, they created CEO advisory groups as a space where leaders step out of daily operations and into meaningful conversations.
This is not networking. This is not theory.
This is a carefully curated circle of CEOs and business owners who come together to think better, decide stronger, and grow faster.
Each group is built on trust, confidentiality, and the principle of one leader per industry—ensuring open dialogue without competition. Inside the room, conversations go beyond surface-level business topics. They address real challenges, strategic direction, leadership pressure, and long-term vision
