He grew eMAG into one of the Romanian companies that succeeded in expanding its business to foreign countries, entering Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland.

Omer Tetik – Banca Transilvania- He has been the CEO for more than 5 years now and during this period the bank has recorded major progress across all business lines.

In 1997 he moved to Russia, as Head of Treasury and Capital Markets for Finansbank Moscow. In 2000, Finansbank decided to assign him another mission and he was appointed Deputy Vice-president in Romania.

Steven van Groningen – Raiffeisen Bank- He is an expert of the Central and Eastern Europe banking market and over the past 20 years he held top management positions in subsidiaries of Western-European banks in Romania, Hungary and Russia.  Over the years, van Groningen has become one of the most prominent figures in the Romanian business community.
