Management, program development and communications professional with over 20 years experience in the NGO sector. Very passionate about how NGOs and the private sector grow and develop their activity, for the well-being of the community and their beneficiaries, clients or employees.Having been engaged in the Romanian NGO sector for such a long time at local, national and international level, I had the chance to volunteer and work at grassroots level, in small local NGOs, as well as to experience being full time employed by one of the biggest and most experienced NGOs in Romania, that supports the development of the NGO sector in a strategic and adapted manner. I have therefore good insights and knowledge on how the Romanian NGO sector looks like, what its challenges and needs are, and how it interacts with its stakeholders.Moreover, I am very much passionate and a keen supporter of sectors working together to solve common issues. I develop programmes that build bridges between sectors for better results and impact.Some of the events and programs that I coordinate(d) or I am involved with are ONGFest (the national festival of non-governmental organizations in Romania), the International Solidarity Gala, Știri.ong or the grant-making programs În Stare de Bine, Civic Innovation Fund, Active Citizens Fund Romania.Expertise: PR & communications, program development, CSR, fundraising, organisational management, training & facilitation, funding, project management, event management, advocacy, management of volunteers, non formal education, youth, international development, development cooperation, global education, development education.
