Currently leading the Romanian branch of Revo Technologies, Alexandru has been able to witness first-hand both the beauty and the breakneck development speed of the Fintech industry – locally and globally. Financial technology, he’s come to discover, is one of the highest friction points between cutting-edge technology and the needs of human communities, able to either enable or obstruct development – commercial, financial, economic and even social. For this reason Alexandru believes we have a duty to grow responsibly and sustainably in a world where more and more aspects of our lives are becoming monetized.

Throughout my career I have been particularly driven to understand the business models and refine processes within the organizations I’ve been part of. Following my relentless motivation to consistently achieve effective solutions, this perspective has always helped me to adjust to the everchanging market dynamics and lead the way to growth and improvement. On the strength of my genuine passion to learn and grasp the complexities of wildly different industries, I’ve built a diverse background that allows me to draw on a vast range of professional experiences.
