My career so far has been marked by strategic marketing, innovation, product management, leadership, and a tendency for constantly pushing the bar higher.

Where I'm From, Where I'm At

Around the time I turned 30, I made a quirky decision to live in a different part of the world every 10 years for the rest of my life. Sometimes the plan worked out, sometimes not so much, but it's been an adventure either way: Romanian born, bred in Austria, and now living it up in Switzerland. This is a developing story.

My Adventure So Far

Flying High with Cruiser Aviation

Co-founder, CEO and Head of Product (2018 - present)

Ever wanted to be part of an open club for pilots? That's what I made at Cruiser Aviation! From Austria to Romania, I've expanded our operations and made waves in the aviation industry.

Crowd Surfing with Seedblink

Head of Product and Co-Founder (2018 - 2021)

Actually it's about crowdfunding. At Seedblink, I brought early-stage startups and investors together like it was a big networking party. I made sure everyone knew their dance steps and had a great time!

Carsharing with Pony Car Sharing

Co-Founder & CEO (2015 - 2018)

During my time at Pony Car Sharing, I brought shared economy benefits to life, with the number of our vehicles going from 10 to 100! I'm all about providing innovative solutions that make life easier and more fun.

Helping Others Grow at Trout & Partners

Business Consultant for Strategic Marketing (2005 - 2015)

Got to work with some cool clients like Banca Transilvania, FAN Courier, and Media Galaxy, and helped them become the big names they are today!

Wine Not? My Time at Murfatlar Winery

Marketing Director (2000 - 2005)

Ever wonder how your favorite wine gets marketed? That was my job at Murfatlar Winery! From promoting products to launching new product lines, I made sure everyone knew why our wine was the best.

Early Colors of Success at Policolor

Marketing Director (1998 - 2000)

At Policolor, I was part of a modernization wave, introducing innovative and eco-friendly products. I love looking back and seeing how far we've come!

Stuff I Studied

• Entrepreneurship & Innovation? Check. Got my MBA from TU Wien & WU Wien.
• Industrial Management? Nailed it with a Bachelor's from ASE Bucharest.
• I've also spent some quality time at MIT and Stanford University. Learning never stops!
