What makes Rompetrol special to you?

Rompetrol is special to me, because I am also special to Rompetrol. Because it gave me a huge chance and - through it`s people - it gave me the opportunity to build and grow a business within the Group, starting from scratch.

What fuels your drive?

The daily challenges, along with the desire to be better at everything I do. Satisfaction at the end of the day that - together with my colleagues - I found solutions out of the box in a dynamic and non-repetitive field.

What do you like most about your team?

Their desire for self-improvement, creativity, loyalty to the company. The spirit of fighters and the power of resilience.

Which is your biggest achievement in Rompetrol so far?

Obviously, Byron Shipping is the biggest achievement. Equally, however, is the consolidation of this incredible team. We've been together for 17 years. And this wonderful story continues.

Which is your key personality trait that helps you overcome hardships and challenges?

I'm the optimistic and (in a good sense) stubborn guy. Plus, I always believed in the idea of a team.
