Summary
Marko Elezović is a seasoned engineering executive and fractional CTO with 18 years of experience scaling fintech and SaaS product engineering from startup proofs-of-concept to global enterprise rollouts. He has repeatedly built resilient organisations and delivery engines—growing Oradian’s core-banking team to 35 people during a >30× ARR expansion and stabilising Lemax’s 25-FTE org to 99.95% uptime by shifting to cross-functional product & engineering streams. Hands-on and technical, he stays in the code when it matters and owns CI/CD, AWS, PostgreSQL and JVM-based systems while also leading high-volume hiring and leadership development programs. Marko’s specialty is converting chaotic early-stage processes into reliable, no-single-point-of-failure operations and breaking silos across dev, QA, infra and commercial teams. Based in Zagreb, he combines a pragmatic, train-the-trainer culture with a background in building bank-aggregator products and running local Scala advocacy, making him as comfortable advising founders as stepping into a full-time CTO role.
