About

I am a Senior Procurement Officer with extensive experience in managing procurement processes and vendor relationships. In my current role at OTP Bank, I oversee purchase requests, ensuring they align with both the Bank's and the Group's requirements. My responsibilities include negotiating contracts, analyzing costs to recommend expense reductions, and coordinating procurement activities to ensure timely and cost-effective acquisitions. I also handle all necessary steps for contracting commercial spaces, from market research and negotiations to obtaining approvals from relevant departments, ensuring all contracts meet the Bank's policies and procedures. Previously, I served as Procurement and Facilities Manager at Megaconstruct S.A., where I was responsible for the timely and cost-efficient procurement of materials, equipment, and services. I managed a team within the operations area, supervised the company’s car fleet, and coordinated maintenance activities for the headquarters. My background also includes a role at Raiffeisen Bank Romania, where I managed supplier databases, optimized procurement processes, and negotiated leases for over 450 branches. I hold a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the Academia de Studii Economice din București and have a strong foundation in business management and procurement.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with.

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly.”
