President of the Managers's Association of Slovenia

Marko Lukić holds a university degree in economics and is the long-standing Managing Director and owner of Lumar. A long-serving member of the Board of the Združenje Manager, he is also the recipient of the Manager of the Year 2024 award.

"Leadership is like climbing: you do not succeed through strength alone, but through balance, trust, and choosing the right next hold. I see the Managers’ Association as a platform where we choose those holds together. Our goal is clear: to move from potential to results, and through collaboration turn opportunities into success stories, helping position Slovenia among the most competitive countries in Europe. The business environment is neither fair nor unfair—it is our reality. Our task as leaders is to understand that reality, define a vision within it, and make decisions. Above all, we must focus on creating value—because only by creating can we truly share. Now is the time for decisiveness in uncertainty, for moving from discussion to execution, and from stability to growth."

Marko Lukić, who holds a university degree in economics, sees sustainability, responsibility, and long-term vision not merely as elements of a business strategy, but as a personal philosophy of life. As an accomplished climber and mountaineer, he developed a deep respect for nature, strong discipline, and an understanding that every decision carries consequences. He has successfully translated these principles into the business world, where he does not simply follow trends but actively helps shape them.

In his leadership role, he places particular emphasis on employee and leadership development, as well as on cultivating a strong organizational culture. His ability to combine strategic vision, business excellence, and social responsibility has been recognized through numerous prestigious awards, including the Manager of the Year 2024 title, the Sustainability Leader of the Year 2024 award, and the Award for Economic and Entrepreneurial Achievements 2021.

In addition to his executive responsibilities, Lukić is a prominent connector of business, professional, and wider social communities, actively contributing to the development of Slovenian management. As a long-standing member of the Board of the Združenje Manager, and through his involvement in various other associations and organizations, he successfully brings together companies, experts, and decision-makers, while strongly advocating for a systemic transition toward a sustainable and competitive economy.

A sought-after speaker and discussion partner at numerous national and international events, he regularly initiates conversations on innovation, energy efficiency, and, above all, the importance of responsible leadership in shaping our future.
