SERVICE TO SOCIETY
Poșta Română is an unpolished diamond and the people working here are amazing. They are determined to transform this institution into a successful commercial operation, despite this mission’s difficulty. In spite of the tough to manage financial and management burden, I have tried, together with the other Members of the Board, to place Poșta Română on the right path, one that will make Romanians proud. It is, after all, their company.

How often does someone get to work in the centre of Government and thus contribute to the improvement of people’s lives and that of the entire nation? Not very often. This is what drove me to accept the pro bono job of adviser to the Prime-Minister. When I said yes, I didn’t know this will turn out to be the greatest challenge of my adult life. I planned a lot of ambitious projects, of which some have come to life:
1. Coaliția pentru Dezvoltarea României – a coalition which brought together most of the companies acting in Romania, purposed to provide the Government with a constant institutional partner, in order to solve the problems in the business sector and to improve the economic climate. Today, the Coalition is the main dialogue instrument between the Government and the business environment.
2. InvestRomania – a governmental agency charged with attracting direct foreign investments (FDI) to Romania, an agency which is still active today.
3. Educație Duală – I have initiated a bilateral agreement between Romania and Austria for Dual Education.
4. I have also contributed to the development of the Partnership Agreement between Romania and the European Commission, the basis of the current budgetary exercise (European funds).
5. I have designed a project meant to centralize all public acquisitions, reducing prices and the occurrence of corruption cases. This project was successfully implemented by the following government in 2018.
