Sasa Popovic, Co-Founder, CEO, Entrepreneur
Sasa Popovic is the father of two children. He was born in Zrenjanin, Serbia in 1980. Sasa completed his academic education at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, getting his Masters degree in electrotechnical engineering and computer sciences.
While still a student, Sasa began working as a programmer spending the first couple of years at a position where he created and developed software solutions for a company from the Netherlands based in Novi Sad. With his University colleague Vladan Ostojic, using their own assets, in 2008 he founded the company Vega IT, one they still own and manage together.
Ever since becoming an entrepreneur, Sasa has encouraged leadership and entrepreneurship within the company. This contributed to his participation in establishing, together with a few colleagues, a number of new companies, five of which are IT companies based in Novi Sad.
Sasa’s caring for his colleagues and his emphasis on customer satisfaction, something he has devoted a significant portion of his working hours to, has resulted in Vega IT’s annual growth of over 30% since its inception – in terms of income, profit and number of employees.

This episode is sponsored by NutriFitt. I tried NutriFitt’s whey protein supplement after meeting the founder and hearing his journey and commitment to quality. I like to support up and coming businesses so I gave it a try and was impressed. It mixes immediately and the chocolate flavor actually tastes like chocolate, not like some chemical engineering committee’s overdone attempt. It has no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. Plus, it includes probiotics and is easy on the stomach.
