Automotive consulting
Automotive product strategy grounded in delivery reality.
Žilić Consult supports automotive companies and suppliers with product strategy, connected services, programme decisions and market launches where technical and commercial choices must stay aligned.

The perspective comes from direct product and programme roles at Rimac Automobili and Rimac Technology, including connected vehicle services and automotive-grade development.
