Being the President of the Board of the Romanian Fintech Association, a position that gives me the opportunity to have an active role in making things happen in this concern.”

“Being in the technology sector for almost 20 years I have seen how Romania has recently started to be the architect of its own ideas and nurture a new fintech ecosystem that can design and produce signature value like never before. It is an exciting, proud momentum and Rofintech is writing history, while Rofintech is all of us, working together.”

“As part of the Romanian Fintech Association board I have the opportunity to support and nurture the fintech industry and especially the insurtech vertical in Romania. I think it is amazing to be part of this process and together with the other board members and the entire Rofintech community to represent the Romanian fintech industry in front of the relevant stakeholders: regulators, authorities, and other partner associations. In this way, we facilitate the development and implementation of innovation in Romania.”

“After years abroad in the field of fraud detection in card transactions and peer-to-peer lending, I decided to take advantage of the emerging fintech industry opportunities in my home country and in Europe and thus founded Lendrise and Rofintech together with other local and enthusiastic entrepreneurs. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I don’t regret anything. Not yet.”
