Business development / Tax / Finance / Marketing / P.R.

Acting as an entrepreneur within my own business consultancy, started in late 2020 and also, since
2015, as a volunteer for the Japanese based non-governmental organization, ROCCIJA, a private
organization focused on nurturing Romanian-Japanese relations, following a 15 year career as a
public manager within my country’s governmental tax administration, I am actively working on
enhancing my entrepreneurial endeavors while making best use of my continuous proactive
attitude, diverse professional experience and worldwide network of contacts, especially E.U., Japan
and South-East Asia (as thanks to my GRIPS Tokyo alumnus status, I am part of a global 5000+ alumni
network, spanning 122 countries, worldwide)
