As part of the Global team, I had the pleasure to work under Raluca Rusescu. Raluca is more than just a People Managers. Not only that she cares for her employees, but she always makes sure that the business is provided with accurate data and is treated with professionalism. I have always appreciated how she always documented herself. She has always looked at processes not only from her team’s point of view, but from the business perspective as well. I admired how she always looked for improvement, not only for a specific process, but improving the systems HTR works with. Raluca was never afraid to take responsibility when was due. She always finds solving to all problems and goes as far as to be pro-active and looks for solutions that will make said problems be avoided in the future. She takes challenges as a way to improve and develop herself. The fact that she doesn’t break under pressure and stress, in my opinion, is what makes her a true role model. I can objectively say that she is not a boss, but a leader. She makes sure to get involved in all projects, she works side by side her teams and gets satisfaction from their successes, rather than her own. The fact that she has always been honest and has amazing communication skills, made all her employees trust her and look up to her. She is invested in her employees and committed to helping her team grow professionally. However, what I have admired most about her is her optimism.

Working with Raluca was great! I have found in her a manager able to understand complex issues, to come up with solutions, to handle as-hoc situations coming from her team or from her clients, a manager able to understand wide and complex issues. Other than that, Raluca is a great colleague, responsible, committed, friendly, well appreciated by her team members and colleagues!
