Bio
Dan I. Vasile
Alex is the most organized yet collaborative event manager I ever worked with! Every single event I’ve seen him at work, no matter how numerous the team involved, I was amazed by his meticulous approach in implementing every detail of the plan, keeping the perfect timing without anyone experiencing any pressure. Honestly, even if we already work together for more than a decade I still don’t know how he manages to do it so smoothly. The feedbacks of Alex are always generous and constructive, his input in the creative process always respectful. He manages to always find the perfect balance between the authentic human connection that he easily establish and on-site discipline for the most valuable work to be done. And I could not end without adding his sense of (elegant) humor and his great kindness (I remember one time that he bought a snack to the taxi driver waiting for us shopping some props just because we left some flavored catering back in the car and he thought maybe the man haven’t had breakfast that morning...)

I have to traveled to Bucharest many times in the past, as I am absolutely in love with this city. Before my trip in the summer of 2018, I was looking for some new adventures in Bucharest, not the usual beaten tourists' paths. I contacted Alex after coming across his informative and unique website. We had a private tour of the hidden neighborhoods of Bucharest. During the tour Alex was had proved to be an exceptionally thorough yet vibrant guide. His appreciation and adoration of the city was very well expressed through his distinctive perspective on the city's history, architecture, art and everyday life. All that is delivered with his special sense of humor and endless patience. If you are looking for that special angle that goes beyond and deeper into the surface – Alex is your guide!
