Ramona

I’ve been working in the online world for almost 20 years, moving through research, telco, and media companies, and launching a wide range of digital products: from research tools to content platforms, business directories, video products, and e-commerce businesses. Even though my background is in economics and marketing, I’ve always been drawn to the technical and practical side of things–> actually bringing a product to life.

I’ve lived both the corporate rhythm and the startup hustle, and somewhere along the way I realised that what I truly love is building products in complex environments, whether the challenges come from the product itself or the ecosystem around it. There’s a saying that a good project starts with a good plan, but I’ve learned that success really lies in how you navigate the unexpected: adapting, collaborating, and moving confidently through different environments, people, and scenarios.

At Digital Kitchen, we’ve managed to bring to life a concept that’s still new in Romania: Project Management as a Service. It fills a real need for companies trying to launch new initiatives while keeping their day-to-day business afloat and by this doing exactly what we love most: rolling up our sleeves and handling the actual implementation work.

I have a particular soft spot for anything that starts with “it’s complicated,” “it’s a nightmare,” or “this will be difficult.” Say that, and I’ll probably show up with curiosity and determination.
I love traveling and, despite what a few loud voices might suggest, I actually enjoy socialising (in my own way) and finding my way through all kinds of friendships and groups.

I naturally look for the best in people andI truly believe most people are good at heart… which is probably why I’m often nominated as the “devil’s advocate.”
