Goodbye, old guard! Sergiu Neguţ, co-founder of fintech innovator FintechOS, has claimed the presidency of Romanian Business Leaders (RBL), an influential club of over 550 bigwigs from Romania's thriving business world.
Taking charge from 2025 to 2027, Neguţ's board features a fresh face alongside vice-presidents Felix Pătrășcanu (FAN Courier's managing partner) and Alexandru Lăpușan (Zitec's co-founder & CEO). Additional power players include Marius Ștefan (Autonom's CEO), Laura Florea (Point PA & PR's managing partner), Angela Roșca (Taxhouse's managing partner), Simona Pirtea (Enache, Pirtea & Asociații's managing partner), Iulian Cîrciumaru (V7 Capital's managing partner), Dan Pitic (Perpetuum's owner), Ciprian Borșan (Harpoon Marketing's founder), Florin Talpeș (Bitdefender's co-founder & CEO), Hilde Brandl (UNITH2B Architects' owner), and Sorin Axinte (RBL and Hyperpragma's co-founder).
The board sports a combination of familiar faces from the previous board and pioneers making their first or second appearance. Notably, members like Felix Pătrășcanu (back after a two-year hiatus) and Sorin Axinte, one of RBL's original founders, return with renewed vigor.
On their new mission, RBL's team aims to tackle four key objectives: creating a welcoming dialogue with the government for a just economic landscape, increasing their membership roster and opening regional chapters, scaling programs, particularly those focused on education, entrepreneurship, and good governance, and improving organizational capabilities through smarter planning and execution.
As Neguţ, RBL's new strongman, rhetorically declares: "RBL is more than just a network. It's a hub buzzing with groundbreaking ideas and active doers. I firmly believe in the transformative potential of leaders who make responsibility synonymous with action and results within business and society. Our board, working alongside the executive team, is geared up to carry on the torch from those who paved the way for RBL, and to progress even further in our three focal areas: education, entrepreneurship, and responsible governance."
