Bojan
Balaban
VP, People Operations
Verano
Bojan is a Total Rewards and HR infrastructure leader who builds compensation, equity, and people operations that hold up under real pressure, whether that’s hypergrowth or a hard reset. He built a global Total Rewards function from scratch in four months, scaled it through a 200% growth curve, then led the same team through an industry downturn and two company-wide reductions. That experience changed how he thinks about the work: less about “rewards programs,” more about infrastructure that survives whatever comes next. Since then, he has centralized Total Rewards across 17 markets at a 4,000-person, $1B enterprise, saving $10M a year for three straight years, and scaled a $500M equity program at Netflix to record employee participation. Bojan works with CEOs, CHROs, and boards at fast-scaling and PE-backed companies to build or rebuild Total Rewards, equity compensation, and global HR operations that can handle both hypergrowth and downturns.
