Haris Husejnovic 🎯

Bosnian guy in Sweden who believes business is still about people.

I moved from Bosnia to Sweden a few years ago. Different coffee. Different way of saying "we'll see." Same truth everywhere: people buy from people they trust.

At Zendev, I help mid-market companies figure out what they need before building it. Not too big for enterprise agencies, not too small for serious solutions.

15+ years in business development taught me one thing. Speed kills deals. Patience closes them.

What I actually do:
→ Connect companies with developers who understand the problem before writing code
→ Push leaders out of comfort zones (they don't always like me for it, but they thank me later)
→ Help teams sell without feeling like they're selling

I'm also a dad of two. My 7-year-old Dalal is my daily dance partner. Those 20 minutes matter more than any deal I'll ever close.

If you want someone who will pitch you in the first five minutes, I'm not your guy.
If you want a real conversation over coffee first, let's talk.
