- A perpetual student of the human mind, passionate marketeer, and full-time entrepreneur - This is me, in a nutshell.
We need people trained in Digital Marketing. Now, more than ever, people need to show up and prove their passion for measurable mechanisms in this dynamic and constantly changing transformation industry.
For more than a decade, I have actively participated in the growth and development of the "Performance Marketing" market in Romania. I chose to give back and transform the industry by nurturing its most important resource—the people.
I have mentored, coached, and helped develop over 50 young professionals, guiding them in their careers in Digital Marketing. In the last decade, I have been able to deepen my knowledge in creating digital marketing strategies, online promotion, marketing campaign monitoring, and budget optimization. Together with the agency I founded nearly a decade ago, WebDigital, we succeeded in helping over 500 companies achieve their goals, all the while employing and helping the development of young professionals in Digital Marketing since day one.
The experience gained through affiliation with CEE Digital Alliance helped me understand regional challenges, not just local ones.
With the help of IAB Romania, I wish to continue assisting young people who want to take their first steps in agencies and digital marketing specialists to clarify aspects they have not deepened in their work and certify their skills.
