A coffee-fueled Fractional CMO for Startups, Business Growth Advisor & Occasional Speaker.
There are multiple accolades I am proud of - and, fortunately, I can publicly brag about some of them.
Here are a few interviews, podcasts, and a few events to which I was invited as a mentor or speaker.

speaker & MC
PROW
My relationship with PROW has grown with every edition. First, as an ambassador, then as a speaker. And at the last edition, I stepped into the role of MC, opening the EDGE stage and moderating all the speeches and Q&As.
And as a speaker, previously, I dove into how to transform product features into real conversion and engagement tactics — a session built for the crossover between product thinking and marketing impact.
PROW's mission to connect local talent with the global product landscape is one I'm proud to have been part of, both as a voice on stage and as the thread that held the day together.

Guest Speaker at Today Software Magazine #150 launch hosted by MHP – A Porsche Company
Grateful and proud to have been invited as a guest speaker for the 150th edition of Today Software Magazine, hosted by MHP – A Porsche Company.
We talked about the real stuff for the local community: the company anniversary, the people and community that built it with us, and the milestones that actually mean something. Not another company report, but a story we built together.
Guest at Oameni din Tech (People in Tech) Podcast
Joined the Oameni din Tech podcast to talk about my journey from chemical engineering to marketing leadership in tech, and everything in between.
We covered what it actually means to be a marketer in a technical team, why empathy matters more than creativity alone, and how you build trust between marketing and product when the product never stops changing.

Speaker & Panel Mod at The Scaleup Fest | Advisors, Angels, Smart VCs or Hired Guns: Who Really Helps You Scale — And Who Just Talks?
Every founder gets told to "bring in senior talent to scale." But who actually delivered — and who just took up a slide on the pitch deck?
At the Scaleup Fest we challenged it all. Angels, VCs, fractional C-levels, consultants, advisory boards. No soft answers, no egos protected.
A topic that I was keen to be part of and also moderate, because at this stage of growth, the wrong room costs one more than the right one saves you.
