10 is the best grade in school. I can say the same about me when I am referring to the experience I have as a trainer and as a consultant. If I am talking about deadlines, I’m good with this too: my deadline is on Friday but I finish the job on Tuesday, but this is because today I am in Cluj, tomorrow in Brasov and then in Bucharest, to teach a training, be part of a teambuilding or some consultancy session I am involved in.

I am an ecoomist but life took me to engineering. I know it sounds a bit odd: an aconomist working as a production manager, logistics manager, product development, but all these jobs have something in common: process improvement and loss reduction. Being exposed, for over 18 years, to problems of operational performance of different industrial areas offered me a complete understanding of the current challenges of the production environment, which took me to being a Lean Leader for Europe – Timken.
From 2007 I am a trainer and a consultant for industrial engineering and Lean management, having loss reduction as one of my goals, increasing productiviy and applying World Class Manufacturing Concepts and Operational Excellence.
Sometimes I am so passionate about Lean and process improvement that I could talk about them for days. I do stop, though, when I am in the middle of nature.
