SME Investor | M&A Expert | CEO and CMOEntrepreneur and manager, started out in private business at 24, in a German corporation as South-East European Junior Manager, after working in the German Bundestag and a few NGOs.Closed my first independent M&A deal at 26, also raising capital from private investors. I'm proud to say that ever since I've founded a few projects which were raised to stand alone, some of which I still hold and coordinate strategically.Graduated in Romania and Germany having studied political science and law. I always try to understand the philosophy that drives a business, to find its intrinsic social value, namely the intersection of its economic performance and the valor it brings. I am especially preoccupied with systems that drive efficiency in communicating with customers, suppliers and investors, reaching the best outcomes with neglectable investments.Investment focus covers both entrepreneurial endeavors and established businesses, lately zooming in on Crypto, Metaverse, Decentralized Finance and Non-Fungible Tokens.Among my passions I count personal branding in business and evaluating the interdependent relationships between fundamental business value and speculative or perceived value.Guided by procedures and work protocols, I look for SMEs retailing EUR 500K to EUR 50mil, which, as an investor or adviser, I can help grow, turnaround or exit.
