Bio
Jacques de Jager
I have had the privilege of working with Mihaela over the past few years, and our cooperation on shared projects and interest groups can only be described as utterly professional. She has been active on the Romanian market for many years, and is clearly a well recognised authority on executive search.

I am thrilled to write this endorsement for Mihaela Damian. I have known Mihaela since September 2004 and, subsequently, I got the chance to work more closely with her a few months later, when she assigned me a researcher role in one of her projects. That was the begging of a long and rewarding collaboration. Mihaela is an amazing person, a high class business professional, full of enthusiasm and energy, and is always willing to advice and assist, being a team player, with a management style oriented towards people. She is by far one of the most skilled business consultants among the Romanian Executive Search consultants. Besides her astonishing customer service orientation, selling talent and high ability to break down complex issues, what impressed me particularly about Mihaela was her unique capability to interweave innovative ideas in the proposed solutions and to constantly challenge the current facts of various business problems putting them into a different perspective. Combined with her persuasive nature, this capability proved invaluable in all assignments she participated in or she managed. In addition to this, Mihaela is a born business developer enhanced by the ability of bonding heterogeneous personalities into a team and motivating them. She possesses a profound emotional intelligence and superior communication skills, which she assiduously employs to impose her agenda. As a manager/colleague, Mihaela is a very reliable, diplomatic and enjoyable person, able to take ownership of complex tasks, to demonstrate a keen sense of judgment and to coach, motivate and lead people to achieve the proposed business goals. She is a well-rounded, visionary manager who always keeps the strategy in mind. It was a pleasure working with Mihaela and I thank her for all the know-how and expertise transferred to me. I know and I am confident that anyone who will collaborate with her will be highly satisfied and will receive the highest performance from a professional and proactive partner.
