Founder & Principal
Slajana Jovanovska is an M&A integration and transformation leader with 20 years in complex program environments, including a decade focused on leading post-merger integration and organizational change at Fortune 500 and mid-market companies.
She founded FILI because in M&A integration and transformation, the people side of change determines whether value is won or lost.
WHAT LEADERS SAY
Trusted by leaders at the world's most complex organizations
"Slajana worked in my change management team at GSK and I was very impressed with her performance. Slajana was able to operate at both a strategic and operational delivery level. Our complex global programme cut across multiple regions and markets with numerous work streams and packages of work... Slajana often followed a methodical and considered approach in everything she did, and was not afraid to diplomatically question the status quo where she believed something could be done differently with better results. "
Global Transformation Program Lead, Fortune Global 500 Healthcare
"I had the pleasure of working directly with Slajana for almost a year, as she led change management for two different workstreams in a large transformational technology migration... She fiercely advocated for end users, escalating as needed when program decisions would impact users out in the business. It was a pleasure having Slajana's steadfast presence on the team and I would welcome the chance to work together again in the future. "
Director of Change Management, Fortune 500 Technology Company
"I was so fortunate to work with Slajana in 2024 while she supported one of Adobe's largest transformations and helped us lead change management efforts... Slajana brought a wealth of expertise and knowledge supporting the global sales team's move from Salesforce to Microsoft Dynamics 365, and her expertise was critical to laying the foundation for success."

WHEN TO ENGAGE FILI
Before deal close or integration launch, when execution risk and complexity need to be understood before commitments are made.
During early integration planning, when alignment, governance, or operating model design will determine downstream execution success.
When leadership misalignment or execution risk begins to surface, before it slows decisions or erodes momentum.
At transformation planning, when clarity, alignment, and behavioral readiness will determine adoption and momentum.
During execution, when initiatives stall, drift, or need course correction before value is lost.
