Who is Alen Faljic?
Alen is the Founder and CEO of d.MBA, a company he started in 2017 to help designers become business confident 💪, which is part of d.MBA’s mission - to show that companies can be run more thoughtfully and also be financially successful.
d.MBA seems to be making progress in that mission, with a 97% completion rate and a 9+ out of 10 student rating 🏆. That’s been achieved from over 600 designers, hailing from more than 60 countries, and who work at companies like Apple, Frog, Google, Logitech and Amazon.
Before founding d.MBA, Alen was a Business Designer at IDEO in Munich, Germany, where he practiced human-centred design, while working on digital experiences, services, physical products, and new ventures for Fortune 500 companies 📈.
Alen is a generous contributor to the field, sharing his insights freely through d.MBA’s podcast and other online resources 🎙️. He has also been a guest on the Disco, Design MBA, and Bonanza podcasts, as well contributing his thoughts to UX Collective on Medium.
