Miodrag Kostic
Serbia
I am an entrepreneur and visionary. I live and work in accordance with the motto:
"If you never start, you will never reach the destination"!
I am a graduate Economist and my own boss: the employer of 4,500 workers in Serbia and Ukraine. I started the private business in 1983. My first company had three employees, dealing with the production of corn puffs. My company is now a holding that conducts business with the strategic and corporate governance in the field of agriculture, sugar and meat processing industries, tourism, real estate management, IT technology and finance. MK Group owns 36 companies and is known as a leading agribusiness company in Serbia and the region of South East Europe. Brands that are under the umbrella of the holding company include: Carnex, Sunoko, MK Mountain Resort and many other.
I was born in a typical working class family. My story is another proof that anything is possible. The hard work paid off, my ideas became a reality.
The company I manage was awarded the most successful company in Serbia and the region. I myself received numerous awards for business excellence and the contribution to the development of the Serbian economy. Some of them are:
'' Businessman of the Year ","The most successful man of Vojvodina ", "The most successful businessman" and "Best Manager of South East Europe 2011".
I love skiing and climbing the highest mountain peaks all over the world, especially the most beautiful Serbian Mountain Kopaonik, which is also my great love. I sail the seas, eagerly looking for new challenges each and every day. My Ship is my home port.
I am the father of three children and a dedicated mentor to young leaders.
