Summary

When I hit 20, I tackled the daunting Custura Saratii, wedged between Serbota Peak and Cleopatra's Saddle. And no, this wasn't some metaphorical climb – I took on one of Romania's most treacherous mountain routes, head-on. With each step, doubt nagged at me about 3,000 times, yet I pressed on. Battling fierce winds, dizzying heights, mental and physical fatigue, and perhaps one too many handfuls of trail mix, I refused to give up. I'm that individual. Once I set my sights on something, consider it done.

Top-notch Managing Partner/VP of Sales with proven track record of success leading and growing organizations. Strong background in strategic planning, financial management and team development. Skilled in identifying opportunities and implementing practical business strategies with commitment to staying informed about latest trends, technologies and best practices.
