Milan Panic

The story of Milan Panic is a very American story – emblematic of the people who made America what it is today. America is a nation of immigrants and Panic possesses the very qualities of first generation immigrants who turned America into an economic powerhouse: boundless optimism, a burning desire to succeed, and an enormous appetite for work.

Milan Panic is the founder and owner of MP Global Enterprises and Associates LLC, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. The company focuses on both business and humanitarian issues around the world.

.

The infectious impact of his personality on his closest colleagues helps explain the phenomenal growth of ICN Pharmaceuticals, the company he founded over forty years ago. It was his strategic vision to expand over the oceans and seas that placed the Company in a position to benefit from the emerging globalization of the world economy in the new millenium.

Milan Panic entered politics at the beginning of the nineties after being elected by the Parliament of Yugoslavia to serve as Prime Minister of his native land. He fought bravely against a dictator and forged a path to democracy. He is regarded by most Serbs today as one man who helped redeem their sense of national pride.

Milan Panic made the American dream a reality. By any measure his career is an extraordinary one.
