About me

I am one of the founding members of the "Alături de Voi" Foundation Romania, which is one of the largest organizations specializing in social economy in Eastern Europe. In June 2023, I joined AFIN IFN S.A. as Deputy Director, helping to lead the first Romanian non-banking institution dedicated to financing the social economy sector. I am currently pursuing my PhD in sociology at the Institute for Research on Quality of Life at the Romanian Academy.

Over the past 22 years, I have contributed to developing various social, educational, and entrepreneurial programs, including playing a key role in the launch and expansion of the Social Enterprise Accelerator. Through this initiative, I have helped establish 48 social enterprises across Romania, the Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine, all part of a European social economy cluster.
