Your background: education/previous industries you worked in/the last position before joining aviation;

I hold two bachelor’s degrees, one in International Trade and Marketing and the other in PR. Previously I worked as a brand manager in the biggest Romanian news trust and then started working in aviation. Initially, I worked at my father’s company Aero Care, after that, at Vallair where I was involved in the trading and leasing of aircraft and engines. After my role at Vallair, I joined the team at APOC.

As VP of Engine Trading at APOC Aviation, I lead the engine trading division. I am responsible for developing the leasing platform for APOC Aviation, fostering relationships with airlines, investors, and repair shops; managing engine sales; trading engines with leases attached or as naked assets; and evaluating engine stock for trading, leasing, or teardown.

 

Why aviation? Was there something or someone who motivated you to seek a career in this field?

My father is an aircraft engineer who instilled in me a deep interest in aviation. He shared with me his love for the industry, something which I now totally understand.

 

Why APOC?

Simply, because the team at APOC is absolutely amazing. Working for this company is not really working but more like spending time with your family. Also, it is a very fast-growing company and the opportunities are endless.

 

Why should a customer come to APOC (your personal opinion)?

Because we are very professional, we have a dedication to great customer support, and we are always very positive.

My family, love for my job, and the fact that I have such great life.

 

A funny/motivational/encouraging story from your life/work/APOC;
