Bridging
Strategy
& Execution.
I am Vladimir Špoljarec. 20+ years delivering value in complex, multi-client environments across Europe, the Americas, APAC, and Africa.
01. Executive Profile
I am an Engineering and Delivery Executive with 20+ years of experience leading complex software engineering portfolios for international clients across Europe, UK, DACH, LATAM, APAC, and North America.
My career has been defined by building and scaling delivery organizations, managing portfolio budgets and resource allocation, and implementing best-in-class delivery processes. I have acted as a trusted advisor to C-level clients across Healthcare, FinTech, Telecom, and Enterprise — driving growth through tailored technical solutions and strategic account development.
I combine strong business acumen with a deep understanding of tech delivery. My approach is pragmatic — I thrive in complexity, resolve ambiguity, and support team autonomy with clarity and accountability. Currently focused on AI strategy and exploring how AI tooling can transform engineering delivery and business operations.
02. How I Can Help
Focused engagements for IT agencies and tech companies that need senior delivery expertise — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Interim Delivery Leadership
"Your senior PM left. The project can't wait."
I step in as an interim PM or Delivery Manager and take immediate ownership of teams, processes, client communication, and delivery outcomes. No ramp-up theatre — I've done this across Healthcare, FinTech, Telecom, and Enterprise.
Typical outcomes
Engineering Organisation Audit
"Delivery is slow. You don't know exactly why."
A structured assessment of your delivery processes, team structure, tooling, and engineering culture. You receive a written report with clear findings and prioritised, actionable recommendations — not a generic framework deck.
Typical outcomes
AI Adoption Workshop
"Your clients are asking about AI. Are you ready?"
A hands-on workshop for leadership and delivery teams — practical, not theoretical. Teams leave with a concrete AI tool implementation plan, clear use cases for their context, and the confidence to execute immediately.
Typical outcomes
Pre-Sales Support
"You're losing deals you should be winning."
I help IT agencies sharpen their pre-sales — effort estimations, SOW preparation, technical proposals, and client-facing presentations. I've been on both sides of this table dozens of times. I know what closes deals and what kills them.

Engineering → Leadership
"You've been promoted. Now what?"
Coaching for senior engineers stepping into team lead, engineering manager, or head of engineering roles for the first time. The biggest challenge isn't technical — it's the shift from doing to enabling. I've made this transition and coached many others through it.
Go Independent
"You want to work for yourself. Where do you start?"
Practical coaching for senior delivery professionals, PMs, and engineering leaders who want to go freelance or consulting. From positioning and pricing to finding first clients, contracts, and building a pipeline — I am going through this myself and sharing the playbook as I build it.
