About Me
I’m an international policy specialist with a passion for helping emerging economies align with global
standards, attract sustainable investment, and play a more influential role in global governance.
Currently, I serve as an Adviser at the Romanian Agency for Investment and Foreign Trade, where I coordinate the agency’s role in Romania’s OECD accession process. I also act as the placeholder Chair of Romania’s National Contact Point for Responsible Business Conduct, leading efforts to engage stakeholders and raise awareness around ethical, sustainable business practices.
My professional journey has been rooted in international cooperation, investment promotion, and policy reform. From drafting legislation and aligning national policies with OECD recommendations, to helping foreign investors successfully expand operations in Romania’s IT and manufacturing sectors, I’ve consistently worked at the intersection of national priorities and global standards.
Before this, I supported Romania’s strategic initiatives within the Ministry of Transportation, Infrastructure and Communications, contributing to the country’s successful bid to host the EU Cybersecurity Competence Centre in Bucharest, and shaping national cybersecurity policies. I also played a key role during Romania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, monitoring legislative files and coordinating high-level EU events.
I began my career in research and development, leading digital innovation projects in the private sector, and remain deeply connected to academic work in international relations, particularly in areas like nuclear proliferation, terrorism, and media influence. As an independent researcher, I’ve presented at over 15 academic conferences and authored work on topics ranging from global security to political communication.
In addition to my advisory roles, I’m a Registered Electoral Expert with OSCE/ODIHR, supporting fair and democratic electoral processes.
Why I Do What I Do
My passion for international relations began early—sparked by the global events surrounding 9/11, which I followed closely during high school. Those moments opened my eyes to how interconnected the world really is, and how decisions made on one side of the globe can have profound impacts everywhere.
Since then, I’ve been driven by a desire to understand these connections and play a part in shaping better, more cooperative international systems. Working in this field allows me to help build fairer, more transparent environments where global standards translate into real-world impact.
How I Work
I believe the best solutions come from open dialogue, collaboration, and brainstorming. Whether I’m working with colleagues, stakeholders, or international partners, I value diverse perspectives and enjoy the process of turning complex challenges into actionable strategies. I’m always open to new ideas, cross-cultural collaboration, and problem-solving together.
A Bit More About Me
Outside of my professional life, I’m passionate about traveling and discovering new cultures—nothing inspires me more than exploring a new city, learning its history, and meeting people along the way. I also enjoy photography, capturing moments and places that tell stories of their own.
Whether it’s policy or a photograph, I believe in the power of perspective—and I’m always curious to see the world from new angles.
