- Bio
Kushtrim Xhakli is an internet practitioner and in many aspects a brilliant generalist. In terms of IT he understands and often even manages every aspect of a project from initial brainstorming to implementation without loosing attention to details.
He knows the concepts very well both from a business perspective to technical point of view. Beyond this, Kushtrim's major skill lies in his ability to analyze businesses and industries.
In June 2007, with Ipko Institute, he launched a free e-learning education portal trajnimi.com providing free access to ICT education in Kosovo. The objective was to break the existing paradigm and offer Kosovo citizens a unique opportunity to develop their ICT skills.
He is an ICT Judge Member for Balkan Case Challenge Competition in Information Technology, held in Vienna, Austria every year.
The concepts of marketing, user-focus and new business blend together in every single new internet and new media related project. Kushtrim does this in every aspect and has a great eye to forseeing why some projects would succeed or fail.
Kushtrim Xhakli was recently elected as a member on Steering Committee of the Business Startup Center of Prishtina University.
He writes articles in his blog frequently and is also a columnist for national daily newspaper Express (TechExpress). Kushtrim lectures about Going Online, Blogosphere, Project Management and in IPKO Institute Management Program, program which seeks to educate actors who can implement change and growth through powerful and effective methodologies, practices, thinking and technologies.
