FILI is an independent advisory practice for mid-market and enterprise companies. We guide leaders through M&A integrations and large-scale transformations by addressing the behavioral and organizational dynamics that determine whether value is realized.
By partnering with leadership teams, we build behavioral readiness, strengthen organizational capacity for change, and accelerate value realization with the human-capital rigor that complex integrations and transformations demand.
We help leadership teams align cultures, operating models, and expectations, addressing the people and behavioral risks that determine whether the deal delivers its full value.
Before major investment, we give leadership a clear, honest picture of organizational readiness, so you move forward with confidence, not assumption.
An ongoing advisory partnership that keeps transformation on track, builds internal change capability, and ensures momentum doesn't just start strong. It finishes strong.
Senior perspective at the moments that matter most
We have led these changes from within, through tough decisions, pivots, and the moments that matter across mid-market and Fortune 500 companies. That experience shapes everything we do.
Fluency across strategy and the human side
We understand how change is designed and how it is actually experienced by the people it affects. That dual perspective lets us see what others miss and address it before it becomes costly.
A partner who moves with you, not behind you
We don't just advise. We work at your pace, bringing clarity when it matters most and confidence when the stakes are highest.
Accountable for outcomes, not just advice
We don't hand over a report and walk away. We stay engaged and focused on delivering results, not just recommendations.
FILI was founded by Slajana Jovanovska, who brings more than a decade of firsthand experience leading enterprise transformation and M&A integration at some of the world's most complex organizations, including the $13B GSK Consumer Healthcare joint venture and a global enterprise transformation at Adobe.

Two organizations are coming together and cultural alignment needs to be actively led, not left to chance
Transformation momentum needs to be sustained across complex, matrixed global environments
Leadership alignment is critical to execution speed and board-level outcomes
Leadership needs an honest, independent assessment of behavioral and organizational readiness before a major transformation launches
The stakes are high enough that getting it right matters more than getting it fast
Operational readiness prepares the plan. Behavioral readiness prepares the organization.
Successful integrations and transformations require both.
The best time to get this right is before it goes wrong.
Navigating an integration or transformation? Let's connect.
