Bio
Dominique Clark
Laza was my direct manager at EA DICE, from April 2018 through to March 2020. Laza is the kind of leader that inspires you to be the best you can. From day one, Laza has provided me with clear, concise and valuable feedback that has allowed me to focus on the right areas to develop professionally. At the same time encouraging me to work autonomously, pursue passion projects and follow my own career path. When leading a project, Laza always maintains an in depth understanding of everything that’s going on. From high level strategic decisions to small day to day details of development. It is thanks to his high level of attention to detail, years of experience in game development and his good natured, approachable demeanor that Laza inspires trust in his teams.

I have had the opportunity to work with Ciprian on several projects at DICE. He is always helpful, solution focused and taking good care of his team. I also appreciate his positive attitude and drive. I would strongly recommend Ciprian leading any project.
