Bio
Diana Neacsu, MBA
Passion, thoroughness and empathy is what makes Amana stand out both professionally and personally! Her track record in lobbying for social policies at a time when effective policies in this area are harder to get by, prove her commitment to her profession. Demand for a committed practitioner like her can only grow in the upcoming years, so I warmly recommend Amana to any team that needs long-standing leadership and support in social policy work!
Frédérique MONGODIN
Amana brings a very personal and enthusiastic approach to her advocacy work, she is an excellent and passionate public speaker, a talented policy analyst and has a friendly, open-minded and team-oriented attitude. I really enjoyed working besides her for common goals and wish her great success in both present and future assignments.
