DRASKO ZIVKOVIC

Director, Operations Practice

Drasko brings over 25 years of Lean transformation experience, including more than 15 years in Lean Business System and operational leadership roles within global manufacturing organizations. Trained by former Toyota leaders, he applies a pragmatic Gemba-based approach that combines executive coaching, Lean leadership development, and hands-on implementation support.


His background spans shop-floor transformation, lean leadership system development, production system implementation, material flow optimization, and daily management—with a strong track record of driving sustainable performance through Lean principles, behaviors, and systems across more than 50 production facilities, global supply chain organizations, multi-site manufacturing environments, and cross-functional business settings, worldwide.

At Daimler Trucks, Drasko spent more than a decade as an in-house Lean consultant and coach and later led the Daimler Trucks Lean Academy. His senior leadership roles at AGCO Fendt and Mann+Hummel further reflect his focus on connecting strategy with execution, building daily routines, and implementing practical systems that make improvements stick.


Drasko supports client teams on the shop floor in improving performance, strengthening problem-solving capability, stabilizing processes, and building the operating discipline required for sustainable results.
