Bio
Robert Jacoby
I worked alongside Silviu for over 16 years as part of the Leadership team that grew our business from $150M to well over $1B. I greatly appreciate and value our working relationship and the collaboration that helped drive this growth. Silviu's character and problem-solving ability stand out. He is an extremely reliable, considerate and dedicated individual. He applies a broad, well-thought out and well-informed perspective to issues of all sorts. For example, he will complement his technology expertise with his knowledge of economics and business strategies to form creative, comprehensive opinions and solutions. I enjoyed working with Silviu on many levels and heartily recommend him.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Silviu for over a decade at the Expedia Group. As the marketing leader, Silviu and the engineering team were critical partners as marketing channels became more and more dependant on data and tech each year. As our engineering leader Silviu collaborated with us and helped us build award-winning marketing and franchise support systems. These systems supported a growing franchise network and cruise business that was growing every year at rates that were far outstripping the industry. He is a very thoughtful intelligent tech leader - someone who can balance the security, data and enterprise-level tech demands of an org with the need to be nimble, fast and take risks. In addition, he is a proven and respected team leader who grew people's careers by challenging them and holding them accountable but by also being a truly approachable, humble and great person to work with. Given the opportunity, I would jump at the chance to work with him again in the future.
