Candidates for the CCE-R Board 2024 (ODC)

Ovidiu Dîmbean-Creța boasts a multifaceted business background with 25 years of experience across a diverse range of sectors, including banking, pharmaceuticals, food processing, home appliance manufacturing and retail, printing, reverse mortgage, media & advertising, football, and local administration.

We asked Ovidiu about his potential contributions to the CCE-R's development if elected to the Board. Here’s what he shared:

“My shorter description is as being an atypical finance professional, more sensitive to people than for numbers, because numbers and words, facts, and actions, are happening by people effort, including machine learning and generative AI.  

I'd contribute to the development of CCE-R through my business expertise and experience, with focus on people relationship and business education, that connect and help people and businesses, and because I love Romania, but I like Switzerland too!  

And I'll do that irrespective I'll be elected as a board member or not, it is already an honor to me to be part of this special community.”
