We had the privilege of having Nenad Pacek as a speaker at our Ingersoll Rand Global Leadership Conference in Florida for our corporate officers and our top 300 leaders gathered from around the world. His breadth of economic knowledge on trends in major and emerging markets was tremendous, coupled with practical business advice, this session was highly relevant and valued by our global leadership team.

Nenad is a passionate and thought provoking speaker! He presented his views of the EMEA economic development to our global Executive Committee headed by Charles Bunch, our CEO. His comprehensive and insightful views on the region and particularly on EU provided us with very useful information for our strategy session. Nenad's no slides, no paper presentations are fascinating and demonstrate his great understanding of the different factors that drive the long term evolution of the global economy and business.

Nenad, thank you for joining our leadership team and sharing your perspectives. Your personal insights on economic prospects in Europe and Russia/CIS and successful corporate strategies were enormously helpful to our team. I do think it would be helpful if our team had access to your insights on a more regular basis.

Nenad, your contribution to our “accelerated growth” in-house meeting in Switzerland was brilliant. All global Nestle directors were particularly pleased to interact with an external speaker who definitely knew what he was talking about and was inspiring at the same time! I have always enjoyed your continuous valuable inputs and I am looking forward to the next meeting.

Nenad Pacek has brought real value to Boeing helping to add facts, data, and insight to our strategies and business plans. The quarterly brief by Nenad is great to get a worldwide political- economic-business environment update. I would like to offer a special thanks to Nenad for his continued business excellence supporting the Boeing team. I met Nenad for the first time during my role as a regional director for Boeing Middle East.

Vice President

Remarkably, Nenad spoke without any notes throughout the day as he led us through a global tour of emerging markets, their economic drivers, market entry strategies, models for targeting emerging markets, competition levels and mega trends. He was an extremely insightful, highly credible, interesting and enthusiastic presenter and he supported his views with business anecdotes and statistics. We had the most senior Corporate Development Officers of European Financial Institutions in the audience and they gave extremely strong feedback about Nenad. If we were running a similar Emerging Markets themed event, I would recommend my colleagues to use Nenad. He was not only the key contributor to the overall success of the day, but also flexible and easy to work with.

Nenad and his companies have been a great source of business insights, from comparative benchmarking to cross-industry performance trends capture and analysis. Nenad’s extensive knowledge of global and regional macro and micro-economic trends and their impact on various industries is a guiding light in the unpredictable international markets.

Nenad, on behalf of Honeywell Aerospace I would like to thank you for sharing your expertise on emerging market strategies and managing through challenging times. This was a wonderful educational experience for our global leaders. Your breadth of knowledge and willingness to engage in honest dialogue about difficult issues provided us with the most thought-provoking session we had in the history of our Executive Forum in Arizona. I was so impressed that I forwarded your material to Dave Cote, the CEO of Honeywell.

I had no choice but to invite Nenad Pacek again to our annual global advisory board meeting. Our advisory board members simply insisted we invite him again. He was back by popular demand!

Nenad Pacek provides real-time insight into global geo-politics and business implications that is extremely valuable for our business, as we navigate increasingly more turbulent conditions in international markets. His engagement and no-nonsense approach, deep and broad knowledge as well as responsiveness of service is absolute world class. We are recently working with him and his collagues in more depth in the Middle East Africa territory.

Nenad and his businesses add real value to our understanding of the economic situations around the world, especially in the very volatile emerging markets. Having Nenad’s service is highly recommended if you want to make the right decisions from a broader economic and business point of view.
Ruediger Odenbach,
Vice President

I have heard Nenad speak many times at some of his client sessions, but most recently we had a pleasure of inviting Nenad to our Medtronic International headquarters in Switzerland to speak at our business leadership meeting. He is highly competent, superbly technically fit and he delivers his speeches (no power point) in an easy to understand key messages. The last session with him was essential for us to align our investment strategies with the external environment. He is easy to work with, responsive and we also enjoy reading his written materials. I would strongly recommend his services to those corporations who want to know what is really happening out there and want to have a convincing and professional partner next to them to mobilize the organization or to simply inform.

Nenad Pacek is a great speaker and one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on subjects such as business and economic trends in emerging markets and global economy. Both me and Microsoft leadership team in Europe have learned a lot from Nenad with whom we have worked for more than a decade.
Jan Muehlfeit,
Chairman Europe
Microsoft
Our global leaders regularly invite Nenad Pacek to talk for several hours in front of our Top Executive Leaders including our CEO and CFO, about global economic and business trends and particularly emerging markets both from the business and economic perspective. Both our CEO and our Top Executive Leaders have all been very impressed and have used Nenad’s input when reviewing Tetra Pak’s long term strategy. Nenad’s unusual depth and breadth of both economic and business knowledge makes him very unique and adds a lot of value to any global company who wants to get a better understanding of global economic and business trends. He is a great, extraordinarily knowledgeable and engaging speaker who looks equally competently at past, present and the future of the world economy, its regions/countries and international business strategy issues. Nenad shared with us his views on an incredible number of countries without written notes, which made the sessions very dynamic. The business discussions which were triggered were fantastic and Nenad gave us very good input what we need to consider to continue to be successful in international business in the future. We will continue to seek opportunities and events, where we can get Nenad’s input to anticipate market and strategic changes and to feed our strategic business plans.”

If you want to have strategic business views and understanding of economic issues, you are in the right place with Nenad Pacek. He and his businesses are the one key source which has provided me and my collagues with a solid platform to achieve both of these objectives.
Arvind K Sachdev

Nenad and his business are the single most important source of international business and economic information I’ve come across in my 30 year professional career. Highly recommended! Nenad presents a real, well-rounded insight of the overall status of the business in the world and the impact it has on socio-political and economical eco systems. Within the first minute of his opening remark, you know he is genuine, passionate and a true expert. He provides a true, unfiltered representation of the real business and economic stories and his views then become an integral part of our company’s strategy.
