I worked with Mircea at my firts job in Honeywell and my first job in a multinational environment, for 8 months. I found in him a friendly and enjoyable person, always willing to take the time to support and explain no matter how fast the pace was. The customs activity required fast decision taking with little or no information, fast reactivity but also proactive when the situation would permit, and Mircea was doing a very good job in solving any issues fast and in a correct manner. His career evolution inside Honeywell (considerring the ever increasing responsibilities and complexity) and after leaving Honeywell only confirmed his qualities as a leader and manager. I would definetely recommend Mircea for any path he may choose, having in mind his ability to proper evaluate his strengths and weaknesses. I wish Mircea all the good luck and to never miss the best opportunities! Mihaela Horecica
