Leaving corporate environment and decide to go on the other side of the barricade could be an unusual decision, still the most important thing is that I was 100% passionate and determined to follow this decision and to prove myself in time that I can do it and is worthy. Main responsibilities were: setting up the office in Romania & build a dedicated team, new business development, supervise and manage complex projects of rebranding and re-design, finance management, networking, grow the business in Romania & neighbouring countries (Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine, Moldavia), PR & media relations.
