Innovation leader at Volvo Cars
VR/AR expert, investor in tech and fashion.

🎸🤓Rockstar by night, nerd by day

📄Though wouldn’t call myself a car person, I quickly fell in love with the automotive industry as a Masters thesis student at Volvo’s Copenhagen office in 2014. It wasn’t just because I felt that Volvo tried to redefine mobility and push for innovation, safety and sustainability – also resonated with the development of a product that will be multiplied and accessible to millions of users. As I said I come from Romania, Transylvania, and moved to Copenhagen to study music initially, but then shifted to Tech and Entrepreneurship.
I am creative technologist who has been active in the worlds of music, fashion, media production, photography and game development. Working closely with Unity founders and the gaming community, as well as pioneering in VR... my focus these days is on "futurist" thinking, innovation management, and building, leading, and investing in teams that bring together creative and engineering forces.

📈Reason for being passionate about working with innovation and startups.
I was part of formulating the Open Innovation Arena, an incubator of dreams, a place where innovators, creatives, and technologists are coming together to paint the future Volvo would like to live in. A space for collaboration with partners, students, and people across the company, where ideas are born, and visions are drafted. A place to ask questions, and deal with the unkown.

✏️Personal interests:
Still a creative at heart, I am playing guitar with various bands and record in different studios, and when time allows working as Creative Director with various avant-garde fashion designers from Copenhagen. In the spare time, I love to talk about visions, purpose and dreams. Sharing dreams, scenarios and latest tech rummors with my friends and colleagues. I advise startups, students and companies, and like to travel and talk at various conferences, meeting like-minded people, and foster communities.
