In the period of 25+ years, I led, developed and participated in projects for international organizations (e.g. World bank, OECD, EU, USAID), global corporations, as well as progressive small and medium enterprises. I advised 22 governments around the world (e.g. Thailand, Vietnam, Egypt, Armenia, Kyrgizstan, Ukraina, Russia, Syria, Serbia, BIH, Macedonia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia) on regulatory reform projects, such as simplification of administrative barriers (Regulatory Guillotine), Standard Cost Model (SCM) and Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA).
