We are excited to announce that Lana Popović, President of the Central and Eastern Europe business unit of The Coca-Cola Company, is joining the CEEMAN Board representing Coca-Cola, our long-term corporate member. She is taking over from Nikos Koumettis, who has moved on to the position of Coca-Cola Group President for EMEA.

Lana Popović says, “I am truly honored to join forces with the rest of the CEEMAN Board and support them in bringing their vision to life: to bring management education to the next level.

I am committed to share my experience, my networks and above all my soul to inject some fresh ideas that will help transform the way we educate our future leaders.

I aspire to a future where business leaders will navigate our exponential and volatile times with confidence and be at the same time enablers to business growth, while securing environmental and societal well-being.”

As the President of the Central and Eastern Europe business unit of The Coca-Cola Company, Lana oversees a territory that includes 26 countries from Russia to Italy. Ms. Popović has worked for Coca-Cola since 2001, including leadership positions in general management, strategy and marketing: first in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, and later on overseeing wider regions of South Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and North-East Europe.
