I live in Bucharest, Romania (Eastern Europe). I work as CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) in a tech startup - a streaming service for audiobooks and e-books (very similar to Netflix, Spotify or Amazon Prime -- but for audio-books).

😷 Vaccinated against COVID-19 with AstraZeneca. 💉

CURRENT MISSION

Short term: enjoy 2021 and explore the world - within given COVID-19 limitations.
Long term: Become very skilled at what I do. Be a better person.

ABOUT ME

I cannot let a year go by without having traveled to at least one foreign country...without having created anything and without having experienced something more or less extraordinary. :)

I also try from time to time to catch a snapshot of some of the pieces that make up the big puzzle of my fascinating world...I'm a hobbyist photographer 📷.

If you'd like to check out some of the pictures I've taken so far, visit my online gallery.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is my playground."

Teach, Learn, Share

Minimalism has taught me to let go of some attachments, find peace of mind, get more organized and focused in my daily life & work. I only keep what is necessary.
Music and singing have taught me to connect with my emotions.
Human beings have taught me to really listen and empathise with a whole range of behaviors and emotions.
Psychology has taught me: "Don't believe everything you think."
