Briefly

I am an awarded Creative Director and Communication Strategist with
18 years of experience in advertising, PR and integrated communication.
I’ve led cross-disciplinary creative teams, shaped brand platforms, and
delivered campaigns that generated both cultural impact and business
results — accumulating over 40 local and international awards.
I’ve served as a juror for some of the world’s most respected advertising
festivals, including New York Festivals, Gerety Awards, Effie Romania,
Romanian PR Awards, Webstock, Coma and IAB Mixx, bringing a sharp
and balanced perspective on creativity, effectiveness and innovation.
My expertise spans creative direction, brand strategy, integrated
communication architecture, team leadership, operational management
and agency growth — making me equally comfortable in shaping the big
idea, leading the team that brings it to life, and designing the system that
keeps it all moving.
