Min rejse til en erhvervskarriere i Danmark var ikke en dans på roser. Jeg måtte navigere gennem mange forhindringer og klare et par storme, og uanset hvor mange mennesker, der sagde til mig, at jeg ikke skulle prøve, at jeg ikke ville kunne klare det, så gjorde jeg det på min egen måde. (se yndlingssang) Min drøm var at få en karriere inden for finans – men det var ikke en mulighed i min barndom, da jeg blev født i Rumænien under den kommunistiske periode. Men der kom forandringer til Rumænien. I 1989 deltog jeg i revolutionen mod det kommunistiske regime, og masser af nye muligheder viste sig. I 1995 tog jeg eksamen i International Business på Academy of Economic Studies i Bukarest, som er en af de mest prestigefyldte handelshøjskoler i Rumænien. Jeg drømte om at arbejde med international forretning, men jeg var nødt til at finde en ny karrierevej, da jeg blev gift og flyttede til Danmark i 1994, hvor jeg tog en Master of Science i Business and Administration på Copenhagen Business School, samtidig med at jeg arbejdede fuld tid i revisionsbranchen. Jeg blev statsautoriseret revisor i 1997 og afsluttede en Henley Business School Master of Business Administration i 2003. Jeg forlod revisionsbranchen i 2014, da jeg indså, at mit sande kald er ledelse. Jeg arbejdede som Head of Group Financial Reporting for Danish Broadcasting Corporation (den danske pendant til BBC) i 4 år, og jeg startede i mit nuværende job (direktør for Group Finance i Coop Danmark-koncernen) i 2018. Ledelsesudfordringen er det eneste aspekt, jeg ikke kunne leve uden, og jeg blev klar over, at det er min passion at hjælpe organisationer med at få succes med komplekse transformationsprojekter. Jeg forsøger at give noget tilbage ved at være mentor for den yngre generation.
My journey to a business career in Denmark was not a walk in the park. I had to navigate many hurdles and weather a few storms, and no matter the number of people who told me I shouldn’t try, that I wouldn’t be able to make it, I perceived did it my own way.(se yndlingssang) My dream was to get a career in finance-but this was not an option in my childhood, as I was born in Romania during the communist period. However, change came to Romania. 1989 I have participated to the revolution against the communist regime and plenty of new possibilities turned up.In 1995 I have graduated the degree program in International Business at the Academy of Economic Studies from Bucharest, which is one of the most prestigious business schoolsin Romania. I was dreaming of working with international business, but I needed to find a new career path, as I got married and moved to Denmark in 1994, I pursued a Master of Science in Business and Administration at Copenhagen Business School, while working full-time in the audit industry. I became a Public Certified Accountant in 1997 and finished a Henley Business School Master of Business administration in 2003. I left the audit industry in 2014 as I realized that my true call is leadership. I worked as Head of Group Financial Reporting for the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (the Danish Equivalent of BBC) for 4 years, and I started my current job (Director of Group Finance at Coop Denmark group) in 2018. The leadership challenge is the one aspect I could not live without, and I became aware of that helping organisations succeed with complex transformation projects is my passion. I try to give back by being a mentor for the younger generation.
