Faris Zacina

Founder & CEO, Ministry of Programming

Faris is the Co-Founder and CEO of Ministry of Programming, a Swedish/Bosnian software company he bootstrapped in 2015. Under his leadership, MoP grew 813% in its first four years, surpassing €50M in cumulative revenue and 150+ people through entirely organic growth — earning a place among Europe’s fastest-growing companies on the Financial Times FT1000.

A top-ranked software engineer/architect with 10+ years of technical experience, Faris is now steering MoP through its transformation into an AI-native product partner — helping founders assemble exceptional teams, build new products, and grow faster with AI tools.
