He transformed his original software company GECAD into Gecad Ventures after creating multiple global tech assets from Romania that sold to major buyers like Microsoft, Naspers, and Fitbit, and now shapes the regional startup ecosystem while backing a new generation of CEE fintech and infrastructure companies.
