About me
A former banking executive
As former finance and banking executive director, with 27 years of banking in Romania and abroad & 12 years at Executive/Board level, I have led local teams on billion dollars + landmark deals on the Romanian market, managed annual budgets of more than 60 million dollars, double hatted client facing departments and coordinated regional projects at CEE level.
This helped me gain a deep understanding of the local, regional and global business environment, the corporate world and the challenges faced by high-level executives, business owners, board members and young professionals.
A former Chairman of a Board
During my 3 years as a board member, Vice President and President of a business association, I have become well acquainted with the power dynamics of the boards.
From these positions I had to juggle with strategic and operational priorities, manage multiple stakeholders, draft and implement growth strategies, and oversee budgets.
I was at the forefront of representing the NGO vis a vis external stakeholders, public officials, convert prospects into members, assume public speaking roles and organize events.
A Coach and Mentor
As a manager and formal mentor for more than 18 years and a certified Coach since 2018, I have supported, mentored and coached a multitude of individuals and teams, including former colleagues, business owners, high level executives and board members.
My philosophy in coaching is to always create and support a fertile space, based on equality and non-judgment. My focus is on the client’s needs, I bring support, understanding, clarity, coherence, inspiration, drive and ultimately progress.
I firmly believe that the client is capable of generating their own best solutions. I help them align these with their core values, adopt a growth mindset, materialize opportunities into permanent transformation.
A human being
As a husband, father, friend, and a human engaged on the path of personal development, I know the highs, the lows, the beauty, complexity and impermanence of relationships, the struggles and joys we all meet in life.
As a lifelong learner and curious individual, I am passionate about neuroscience, psychology, stress adaptations, learning theories, meditative and breathing techniques and how to use science in the daily life to support others in their progress towards their better selves.
