The strongest names in the field of digitalisation so far
Growing achievements and opportunities offered by digitalisation — as well as the circumstances brought about by the pandemic — have led the Montenegrin Managers’ Association (AMM) to raise its activities in this field to a higher level and gather the best team in Montenegro, in order to work more strongly and quickly on digital transformation.
In line with this, the Executive Board of AMM decided to appoint a new composition of the Digital Transformation Board. This strategic AMM Board is the first board of its kind in Montenegro — after which other business organisations formed similar bodies.
Chair of the Board and Coordination Team
Vladan Tabaš, General Director of Čikom, was elected Chair of the Board.
The work of the Board will be managed by the Coordination Team, which — in addition to the Chair — consists of:
- Dejan Abazović — Advisor to the Prime Minister on IT in the Government of Montenegro
- Aleksandra Radojević — Director of the Strategy and Risks Department at Mtel
- Stevan Ljumović — Advisor at the Directorate for Digital Health, Ministry of Health
- Dražen Raičković — Executive Director of Finance Plus
- Dmitar Ćulafić — Director of Business Development at Roaming Networks
- Jelena Milojković — Director of ZZI

- Tamara Džuver — Manager of the Product and Digital Channels Development Department (Telenor)
Banking sector

Secretary of the Board
Katarina Savković, Office Manager at AMM, was appointed Secretary of the Board.
Significance of the new composition
The reputation that AMM and the Digital Transformation Board enjoy in the business-social community is confirmed by the fact that the new composition of the Board includes:
- Experts engaged in the Government of Montenegro
- Representatives of science and media
- Representatives of leading IT and digitalisation companies
- Telecom operators, banks and insurance companies
By its composition, the Board represents a kind of “digital coalition”.
Open call for participation
The Executive Board of the Managers’ Association has left open — and invites business organisations, institutions and companies that invest in digital transformation and wish to cooperate or be included in the Board’s work — to come forward with proposals, initiatives and projects.
The Managers’ Association will continue to insist on the position that the business community should not wait, but itself initiate and implement initiatives. The Government, local authorities and decision-makers should create the environment and support all quality ideas and initiatives.
Digital transformation is a necessity
The digital transformation of Montenegro and the application of new technologies is not a matter of choice. The current moment has shown us that it is:
- A necessity and an opportunity for the economy
- An opportunity to increase the efficiency and quality of state services
- The well-being of citizens, the business community and the overall socio-economic recovery
