Marko is an expert in Human Machine Interfaces and is responsible for the current and future Bugatti and Rimac Automobili models. He started his career as a software developer, working on telemetry and M2M systems for early Rimac models. He then transitioned into a product management role, specializing in Human Machine Interfaces. Marko has a unique advantage in product development, having worked on both sides of the process. As a former software developer, he understands the importance of clear and concise requirements, having had to read and develop based on them. Now, in his product management role, he uses this understanding to produce higher quality product definitions by putting himself in the shoes of both the engineer and the end user. He has been with the company for over 7 years, joining when it was known as Rimac Automobili, now renamed Bugatti Rimac. He has witnessed the company’s growth from 100 employees to several thousand and has seen the changes in requirements and product management as the organization and product complexity have increased. Marko’s notable accomplishments include the early development of the Rimac M2M telemetry system and being the feature owner of the Rimac Nevera electric Hypercar.
