Biography

Hi, I’m Ivan Jureta, thank you for visiting. I’m a Senior Director at STEMCELL Technologies, the 30-year old Canadian biotech, and Chercheur qualifié honoraire du F.R.S.-FNRS with the Belgian National Research Fund.

I am interested in the design of decision governance as a means to make and remake long-lasting organizations. There’s no substantial progress without a blend of continuity and creative destruction.

I’m a former tenured professor at University of Namur (Belgium) and was a co-founder of JTT, a management consultancy, b92.fm, a music streaming service, BStorm, a digital transformation consultancy, and Hilbert Paradox, a healthcare data management and governance platform. I used to build startups from 0 to 50 people, and typically led product.

I hold a PhD in economics and management. I authored and co-authored more than 90 peer reviewed research publications, most of which are available on this website (also via Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and DBLP), and two peer-reviewed books, “Analysis and Design of Advice” and “The Design of Requirements Modelling Languages“, both with Springer, and available on Amazon.

I used to do research at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto and the Department of information engineering and computer science at the University of Trento, in both cases with John Mylopoulos and Alex Borgida (affiliated with Rutgers), as well as briefly at The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, in Katia Sycara’s group. At the University of Namur, I used to work mainly with Stephane Faulkner and Pierre-Yves Schobbens. I studied at Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and University of Namur. After living in Serbia, Belgium, UK, and US, I now live in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.
