It is the second high-profile hiring by STV in the last twelve months. The firm had hired former Boston Consulting Principal Luca Barbi as its Chief Operating Officer in early 2019. Ivan Jakovljevic will lead the firm and portfolio development, helping the portfolio companies of STV with their scaling efforts using his extensive experience in strategy and technology as well as his extensive network in the region and beyond. During his time with Google, Ivan, according to the statement, built multiple hundred-million-dollar businesses from the ground up. The addition of Ivan marks another milestone for STV in this direction.
